We now have over 1000 pupils across the seven year groups from year 7 to year 13.

We invite applications from candidates with the following attributes for this role:

  • Passionate about their subject;
  • Strong classroom practitioner, with the ability to engage pupils;
  • Experience in curriculum planning and development;
  • Flexible and committed to engage in the wider curriculum through our Going Beyond and enrichment activities.

There are many benefits to working at The Kingston Academy including:

  • Generous pay-scales, regularly paying 1% higher than National Teacher Pay Scales;
  • 2-week October Half Term break;
  • Access to subsidised Cycle to Work scheme;
  • Weekly Professional Development sessions at whole-school and departmental level;
  • Professional support sessions for ECTs;
  • Staff Laptop or Chromebook;
  • Support with access to NPQH/NPQML/NPQSL qualifications;

  • Work in a vibrant, supportive school environment where staff wellbeing is prioritised.

More details on the person specification are provided in the application pack.

  • Lesson Observation with Head of Department and a Senior Leader;
  • Meeting with a panel of our pupils for informal question and answer session;
  • Interview with Senior Leaders.

Early applications are welcome, and we reserve the right to appoint before the closing date if we find a suitable candidate.
