Located in Islington, this successful and diverse secondary school combines high academic expectations with a genuine commitment to widening opportunity. The school wants pupils to think beyond their current circumstances and consider university, professional careers and opportunities they may not previously have thought possible. Graduates play an important part in that culture. Rather than spending the year standing at the back of classrooms, you'll be encouraged to use your own academic journey to challenge, motivate and raise aspirations. You could spend your morning helping Year 11 pupils prepare for GCSE examinations before mentoring a high-achieving student considering a competitive university application. Later, you might lead an intervention for pupils who have the ability to achieve more but need additional confidence and direction. Who Are We Looking For?
Applications are particularly welcomed from graduates in: English | Mathematics | Science | History | Geography | Languages | Psychology | Humanities | STEM A 2:1 or First-Class degree is highly desirable. Previous school experience isn't essential. What matters is that you're academically strong, articulate, ambitious and able to build positive relationships with young people. Could This Launch Your Career in Education?
If you're considering becoming a teacher, Educational Psychologist, SEN professional or future education leader, a full academic year inside an ambitious school could be exactly the experience you need.
