What the school offers its staff

An exciting opportunity has arisen to work as part of a welcoming, talented and highly motivated team in an Academy judged by OFSTED to be outstanding. The successful candidate will provide assistance in the smooth running of the Academy’s trips and general administration.

Wren Academy Enfield is the second school of the Wren Academies Trust which is sponsored by the London Diocesan Board for Schools and Berkhamsted School. Opening in September 2020 with a first cohort of Year 7 students.

This new school is modelled on the successful Wren Academy Finchley but every effort has been made to ensure that a distinctive ethos and approach is created which matches the needs and aspirations of the students who join the school.

Wren Academy Finchley quickly developed a strong reputation for outstanding teaching and learning, as well as enabling students to make excellent progress as demonstrated by our Progress 8 figure, which places us in the top 100 schools nationally. All the factors that have led to this notable success are being put in place to ensure similar outcomes at Wren Academy Enfield.
