This role has become available due to the natural growth of the school. This is an exciting time to be joining our academy as we continue to build on the success of the last 6 years. Our all-through school opened in a superb new building in September 2018 and we have grown year on year, with the school now operating from Y7 to Y13. In addition to the secondary and 6th form phases, we also have two primary phases set across two sites, King's Academy Binfield (KAB) and King's Academy Oakwood (KAO).

They will have expertise in innovative and impactful practice, a passion for education and building great relationships with students, staff and parents. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate a commitment to and evidence of success in the development of the wider aspects of school life. Applicants should be excellent classroom teachers in their own right; as well as being able to work as part of a team, get stuck in and inspire all staff and students to excel.
