The school
The Totteridge Academy (TTA) is a brilliant secondary school in North London. With approximately 1000 students, and a new Sixth Form which opened in September 2020, TTA is continuing to grow and develop. We were thrilled to have won the TES Secondary School of the Year Award last year, celebrating our phenomenal results (putting us in the top 1% of the country for Progress), inclusive culture, and excellence beyond the classroom.
We are looking for passionate and enthusiastic staff to join our team. Here are some quotes from our 2023-24 staff survey:
· “The sense of community at this school is second to none. I have never felt so supported by the senior team, as well as my department and line manager. This is definitely reflected in the ‘feel’ of the school and our daily interactions with students.”
· “I cannot believe that I work in a school that has such a mix of incredibly high expectations and academic outcomes, alongside things like a school farm, Place2Be, Equine therapy and Peggy, our school dog! TTA truly cares about every aspect of a child’s education, learning and wellbeing.”
· “Teaching and learning is extremely well led, resulting in consistent teaching across the school and therefore much improved attainment from our pupils. It is the single most stand-out quality at TTA that makes me very proud, and has improved my teaching immensely.”
· “The culture of collaboration and continuous improvement is fantastic. I feel as though I would be welcomed, supported and appreciated by any member of staff if I went to them to ask for anything or just to have a chat!”
· “The community is extremely supportive, and the staff genuinely care for the children, their education and supporting one another, both professionally and personally.”
· “So many of the middle leaders are just world class. They lead by example and have relentlessly high expectations and good humour to boot. Teaching and Learning at this school is exceptionally well led.”
We provide a high-quality education in a safe, caring, and focused environment. We teach skills and knowledge, enabling our students to become responsible, well-rounded citizens, equipped with the tools to make effective choices for their futures. We pride ourselves on our inclusive environment with a rich and nurturing culture. We celebrate our differences whilst standing together as a united learning community. Our school philosophy of kaizen (continuous improvement) enables our students and staff to aim high at all times so that every individual can attain his or her best. We celebrate and are proud of the achievements of all of our students, valuing individuality and nurturing happy, confident, and hard-working young people. We have high expectations at TTA and reject the view that success in life is pre-determined or that our talents are fixed. We improve through practice; calm, focused classrooms led by knowledgeable, passionate teachers.
