Job overview
Kingsmead is a large, oversubscribed school that, despite serving a postcode in the top 20% most deprived parts of England:
- Has an ambitious curriculum, with almost an almost exclusively GCSE KS4 and A Level KS5, aiming for 90% EBacc while also having a performing a visual arts specialism.
- A track record of above average progress scores in spite of the challenge posed by such an ambitious curriculum.
- Exceptional behaviour, with a consistent approach that combines explicit boundaries with the space to build relationships and support those children who need it.
- A thoughtfully constructed wider school experience for the children, with an ambitious combination of clubs, trips, careers guidance and wider enrichment.

We are looking to build an experience for students which gives them a thirst for learning more in our subject.
The subjects continue to be popular choices by our students at both levels. During the cover, you will be working and collaborating with our specialist teachers. All three members of the team are experienced teachers and are focussed on ensuring students attain beyond what they expect.
Everyone we recruit has a strong sense of moral purpose and is highly reflective. It makes for an exciting community of professionals. Over the last 18 months we have moved to a model that is heavily coaching based at all levels. We are setting aside even more time in the coming year for teachers to collaborate and work closely together to develop their curricula and their understanding of consistent, evidence-based approaches to ensuring children truly learn.
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.

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.
