London Enterprise Academy is a Free School at the heart of London’s vibrant East End.

We provide a stimulating education and personalised curriculum within a supportive environment. All of our students are encouraged to stretch themselves to achieve their potential.

The heart of our vision is to create a truly outstanding free school delivering the very best educational opportunities, nurturing academic excellence and enhance ambition in all its pupils. We aim to inspire the next generation of professionals and entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds.

•  Have the ability to draw upon their professional background to demonstrate their ability to successfully teach up to GCSE
•  Be creative in delivering a rigorous, academic curriculum
•  Believe that every child can and will succeed
•  Set high expectations for standards of teaching and learning and model good practice in Performing Arts
• Be flexible, collaborative and resilient
• Contribute to the whole life of the school through our extensive enrichment programme.
• Have the highest ambitions for your pupils, the department, the school and yourself

We will offer you:

• A happy and supportive working environment with high expectations and standards
• An opportunity to pioneer an exciting, academic curriculum
• A network of outstanding practitioners to collaborate with and learn from
• Leadership and management opportunities as the school grows
• Well behaved and respectful pupils
