Job overview

The English curriculum at Kingsmead is designed to reflect back to our students the diverse communities they come from, enabling them to find themselves within the things they read and write so that they can take an even greater pleasure in their study of Language and Literature. Our Key Stage 3 curriculum is thematically built, so all Year 7 texts are connected through the theme of culture and identity, Year 8 through the theme of hierarchy and in Year 9, all texts are connected via ideas pertaining to gender. Our children study whole fiction texts, analyse literary texts through a linguistic lens and are able to internalise the two different strands of Literature and Language, leading them to an understanding of the skills necessary to be successful in both. Our children really enjoy their English lessons and we really enjoy delivering the content we’ve worked so hard to source and prepare to them in their lessons. 

For all our staff at Kingsmead we offer: 

  • A professional and friendly working environment. 
  • An ambitious school which also cares about staff wellbeing and a work life balance.

Benefits include:

  • Employee Assistance Programme. 
  • Cycle2work Scheme. 
  • Tech Scheme.
  • Opportunities for career development, with a dedication to provide CPD. 
  • Well-behaved children who love their learning and make us proud to be at Kingsmead. 
  • Dedicated Trustees, staff, children and parents who work hard to continue to develop our school.
  • Onsite Costa Coffee area

All schools and services in Enfield are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Therefore, all workers and employees within Enfield are expected to share this commitment.

About Kingsmead School & Sixth Form

‘Practise to Perfect’

Kingsmead is a large, mixed, oversubscribed school – easily accessible from both central London and surrounds – with loyal staff, an established standing in the community and a very strong track record. We are consistently above average in Progress 8 and A Level value added, with high Ebacc entry and a wide range of options at KS4 and KS5. Those outcomes are built on a calm, purposeful and collaborative atmosphere.

Despite the school’s size and standing, the Headteacher was appointed relatively young after experience of leading for a high-performing academy chain and in one of the most successful London boroughs. He has restarted the school culture and approach over the last few years and is determined to push it forward from being in the top 20% nationally to being somewhere where things are achieved others do not think possible.

Ofsted

Lessons include a range of interesting activities, encouraging students to work both individually and in groups. Questioning and regular reviews of learning ensure that students make good progress. Students behave well, attend regularly and are ready and eager to learn.”
