Working for us
Walthamstow Academy opened its impressive new building in 2006 and
since then we have achieved excellent results both at GCSE and at A Level.
In 2019, Walthamstow Academy students achieved a Progress 8
score of 0.4). At A-Level, our students achieve excellently with many of them progressing to
Russell Group institutions. Because we are so successful, the school is
now full and oversubscribed on first choices alone.
We do not achieve these results by accident. At Walthamstow Academy,
we believe in the best in everyone. We have a relentless focus on high
expectations and aim to identify barriers to success and provide
necessary support as quickly as possible to ensure our students achieve.
We do not accept excuses and always strive for the best.
The Academy is proud of its multi-cultural character and we celebrate
the diversity of heritage in our community. 84% of our students are from
minority ethnic groups, many coming from African, Caribbean, Eastern
European, Turkish and Pakistani communities.
Within the community served by the academy there is social and
economic disadvantage with more than half of the students being
eligible for Pupil Premium. One third of the students have a first
language other than English and a significant number have low levels of
literacy on entry. Many students enter the Academy with low levels of
attainment and the staff work hard to add value to their performance.
Standards across the Academy are above national averages in most
subjects.
The Academy is located close to the North Circular Road, M11 and both
Blackhorse Road and Walthamstow Central underground stations from
where it takes about half an hour to get into central London. The
Academy is situated in a part of London where property prices are still
relatively inexpensive and within easy access of Epping Forest, the Lee
Valley and rural Hertfordshire and Essex.
Walthamstow Academy has achieved the CPLD Gold Award in
recognition of our investment in professional development, because we
know that without our wonderful staff, what we have achieved would not
be possible, so thank you for your interest in coming to work with us. It starts with someone like you believing you can contribute further to our community
