About our School

We are seeking an individual with person-centred, inclusive values and a proven ability to develop relationships with students, families, colleagues and other agencies. You will work as part of the School Resources team, focussed on the delivery of high-quality administration and school operations for Kenwood Academy and other partner Nexus schools.

Kenwood Academy is an 11-19 Special School. Every day we make a difference to the lives of the children and young people in our school community. We are proud of our great reputation with children and families, other professionals, and other agencies.

The students at Kenwood Academy deserve the very best education and an ambitious, rich curriculum. All have communication and interaction needs; many have social, emotional, and mental health needs; and many have other identified SEND. Some have missed a large part of their previous education for a variety of reasons. Although we cannot change their past educational experiences, we can work together to transform their futures. The students are at the heart of everything we do, and we strongly believe it is our responsibility to nurture their sense of belonging. We are here to ensure that every single student has the best opportunities to flourish through personalised learning, in a school where everyone feels welcome, safe, secure, and highly valued.
