Teacher of Psychology

About KAA

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about Kensington Aldridge Academy (KAA). This pack is intended to give you information about this role and our school's vision and ethos. Further background information is available at kaa.org.uk, including in the parent prospectuses and recruitment pages you can find there. KAA is an 11 - 18 academy situated in the heart of Notting Hill.

We opened in brand new buildings in 2014 with just Year 7 and our facilities are second to none. This is our eleventh year of operation, and we are now a full school with 1,300 students in Years 7 to 13. KAA is a high-performing academy with a strong local and national reputation. DfE performance tables consistently place us amongst the top schools nationally for student progress.

Ofsted have judged the school to be "outstanding" in all categories and describe standards as "exceptional". In 2018 we were named the TES "Secondary School of the Year", and our 2022 Good Schools Guide review praises the "phenomenal" education students receive. Any success we have comes from the talent and dedication of our staff. KAA staff members are reflective, committed professionals, willing to do whatever it takes for our students to achieve the best results.

This role is an opportunity to join a great staff team and make a significant contribution to our ongoing work. As Principal, there is no higher priority for me than the recruitment and development of staff. Like any school, we are a "people business" first and foremost. We understand that we ask a lot from staff, but in return we provide extensive support and development opportunities and the space to extend your skills more than you would find elsewhere
