MLK Search is supporting this all-through Academy in Erith that is seeking to appoint an exceptional, experienced, qualified teacher as SENCO to start in September.

As an all-through setting, pupils can benefit from joining in reception and staying on to complete sixth form, ensuring they leave the school as well-educated, well-rounded individuals ready to take on the world.

Where pupils need extra help with a particular topic or skill, our teachers coach them in small groups and even one-to-one. Special educational needs are catered to with care and expertise.
