Your Role

Over the last three years, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that TKS is a special place for our students. Our campus based Key Stage offer has brought about a significant shift in our school’s culture and reputation and we are delighted that our most recent Ofsted visit in February 2026 recognised the huge advancements the school has made. Our children are happy here, our staff are proud to work here and our parents would recommend the school.
We are proud of our enterprise department and Business Studies is a popular option in our school with over 120 students choosing it each year. As one of our most popular Key Stage 4 option subjects, the department plays a vital role in the success of our school.

The prime responsibility of this post is to design an inspiring curriculum in line with our school and trust curriculum vision. Their role will be to support the enterprise department in providing high quality teaching and learning in order to ensure every student’s potential is maximised. Innovation and vision are required to strengthen and enhance the school’s curriculum implementation via the lens of a subject discipline, which in turn will create ambitious academic outcomes for our comprehensive student body. Our best subject leaders are passionate about their curriculum, informed by the latest curriculum research, committed, self-reflective, kind, community spirited and undertake their duties with attention to detail and consistently high standards.
