What skills and experience we're looking for
The Academy sits at the heart of the King’s Cross
community, with a remarkable level of
engagement from parents and occupiers on the
development. Our motto is ‘love learning
together’ and it embraces our pupils, parents,
teachers and staff. Visitors often comment on the
energy and excitement for learning they feel when
they come through the doors. Everyone involved
in the school feels that excitement too, and the
Governors have high expectations of anyone who
works with us. We are looking for a dynamic and
inspiring individual to share this excitement, work
with us and build on our successful foundations, to
transform the lives of children and families in
King’s Cross. In turn the Trust and the Governing
Body, drawn from Argent and KCCLP, parents,
staff and the wider community, offer outstanding
expertise and support, concern for staff wellbeing
and incredible opportunities for the right
candidate to tap into.
What the school offers its staff
King’s Cross is an exceptional place: one that
represents the best of Central London. New
homes, offices and workplaces; shops, cafés and
restaurants; higher educational institutions;
leisure, social and community facilities are set
around new streets and outstanding public spaces,
framed by historic buildings and structures. King’s
Cross is a melting pot of media, fashion and
advertising, design, ‘tech’ and life sciences, worldclass
teaching, inspiring designers and leading
companies. Central Saint Martins (part of the
University of the Arts London), the Aga Khan
University, Google, Meta, Havas, Samsung, Sony
Music and Nike are all here, with The Francis Crick
Institute and British Library also just around the
corner. The King’s Cross Central Limited
Partnership (KCCLP) is the developer responsible
for King’s Cross and also sponsors the Academy. It
too is based on the Estate alongside Argent, one of
its partners.
The Academy is located in the ‘Plimsoll Building’,
just to the west of Granary Square and along the
historic Regent’s Canal.
Every aspect of the Academy should be the best it
can possibly be. We want to give our pupils the best
possible education and the best learning
opportunities to face the challenges of the 21st
Century, so they leave us as highly successful
lifelong learners with the aspiration to achieve
even more in their future lives.
