Queens Park Community School is a confident and thriving secondary school situated in the south of the London Borough of Brent. We are fortunate to have an exceptional location, surrounded by playing fields and close to good transport routes. We have an 11 – 18 intake and have been continually over-subscribed for many years with our student catchment reflecting the rich diversity of culture and socio-economic grouping in North West London. We have very supportive families who represent a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds and most have high aspirations for their children. We are a converter academy which has aligned itself to co-operative principles. Our ethos is reflected in our mission statement which utilises the school’s initials: Quality, Progress, Creativity, Success.
We are renowned for our sporting excellence being Brent champions in a range of sports and have a strong athletics tradition. Our students are encouraged to work hard and get involved in all aspects of school life. Teachers are well supported at QPCS. We have a faculty structure and this, coupled with a substantial coaching programme, enables teachers to develop their skills regardless of their level of experience. Our pastoral system is also strong. Most teachers are form tutors and remain with their classes throughout their time in the school supported by a year team structure consisting of SLT and non-teaching staff in addition to Year Co-ordinators and their deputies.
We invite applications from innovative, resilient, creative and motivated Physical Education teachers, who can play a key role in the development of dance, cheerleading and gymnastics within the Department. Involvement with extra-curricular activities is essential and we would be looking for an individual committed to helping students maximise their potential and who will help further develop our already thriving Girls’ provision. If you are motivated and want to work with us to make a difference to the lives of our students then we want to hear from you. Visits to the school are welcome. Applications are welcome from NQTs and experienced practitioners.

Ofsted report
“Members of the governing body are experienced and highly skilled… Their primary concern was to achieve academy status while continuing to secure the support of staff, parents and the wider community. Their determination to succeed, together with their collegiate and open leadership style, ensured that the transition was seamless. They continue to appropriately challenge school leaders about the ethos and quality of education provided by the school. They are very aspirational and, as a result, there is a continuing programme of improvement.”
