Within this structure there is a focus on engaging with the latest educational research, with many colleagues undertaking research projects related to their practice.

Many professional development opportunities have been created which ensure that all colleagues are well equipped and encouraged to be effective in their role.

Wren Academy Enfield is a school, which does all it can to maximise their academic and social potential of all students. We are a vibrant and culturally diverse learning community where all members benefit from our distinctive and inclusive Christian vision inspired by the encounter of Zacchaeus with Jesus (Luke 19v1-10) and the exhortation found in Micah 6v8 to ‘Do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with your God’. The strong pastoral support and personal development programme will be the ideal preparation for life beyond the Sixth Form.

We are looking to recruit excellent leaders who have the desire to develop further. Colleagues will be appointed who possess curiosity about the ways in which Sixth Formers learn most effectively and who are always seeking to extend their practice into new areas and learning activities. It is important that Wren teachers are ambitious both for themselves and for their students.
