Seven Kings School is an inspiring and vibrant place to teach. We are looking for the right candidate to lead on this exciting opportunity; a dynamic, committed professional with the experience, enthusiasm and drive to help SEND students achieve to the best of their abilities across the age range. We are looking for a creative well-qualified teacher with a successful track record in SEND teaching an energetic leader, who is able to influence at all levels. As an all through school this is an exciting role as our young people join us in Early Years and leave us aged 18; your leadership will shape and enable our young people to become successful, fulfilled adults.

You will have a vision and a commitment to young people and their development as learners and members of the community. You will have a strong background in learning and teaching with experience of raising standards across a key stage and beyond. This post is ideal for the SENDCO who wants to lead on the next level as part of the Senior Leadership Team, additional roles will be discussed with the successful candidate as we seek to grow you to the next level leading a large team, networking within and across our school and our partnership. 

Seven Kings School is a successful all through school in the London Borough of Redbridge, with a strong local and national reputation. We are a mixed, multi-ethnic community school providing high quality education to local children, regardless of their ability. There are approximately 2300 students on roll, 500 of these in our successful Sixth Form, which draws students from across East London.

We are the most oversubscribed state school in the country. Outcomes are consistently high in all phases and were once again excellent in 2022, placing us as one of the best state schools in the country.  We have a thriving partnership of 21 schools as a Learning Partnership, we believe we are better together!

In our last OFSTED inspection in September 2018 we were judged to be outstanding across all 4 categories, it reports on the ‘unwavering focus…leaders leaving no stone unturned…exceptional teaching…of awe and wonder’. It is a joyous read; this is a school where students want to learn and relationships are excellent. However, there is still much to do especially leading across all phases.

Seven Kings School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share in this commitment. This post may be subject to an enhanced DBS check. We welcome applications which will ensure we are continuing to diversify our staff and leadership; we are committed to equal opportunities.
