Job overview
Seven Kings School is an inspiring and vibrant place to teach. We are looking for the right person 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 Primary age range. We are looking for an energetic leader, for a creative well-qualified teacher with a successful track record in SEND teaching 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 for this all-through department 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: a large department, networking across our school and our alliance.
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 2200 students on roll, 840 in the primary campus. The school is always oversubscribed and enjoys strong support from parents and governors.
Outcomes are consistently high in all phases and were once again excellent in 2019, placing us as one of the best state schools in the country. We were recently re-awarded World Class School status and are one of the Mayor of London’s Schools for Success 2018-19.
We were a National Teaching School and have kept our alliance of 21 schools as the Seven Kings Learning Partnership, providing exciting opportunities for staff development which is at the heart of our continuing success adding an exciting dimension to the life of the students and staff.
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 is an exciting, vibrant place to work with excellent opportunities for personal and professional development. We are proud of our induction and support programme for all teaching staff and our high-quality professional development opportunities. The school is regularly involved in local and national initiatives, all of which offer opportunities to our staff to enhance their professional development and develop their career. As a partnership we believe we are better together!
Seven Kings School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share in this commitment. This post may be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
