Term time only
The City of London Academy Islington was judged by OFSTED in March 2014 to be a ‘Good’ school overall. Achievement of pupils, quality of teaching, behaviour and safety of pupils, were all individually graded as “good”; and Leadership and management was graded as “outstanding”.
Our Ofsted 2014 reads:-
“Students’ behaviour in lessons and around the Academy is calm and polite”;
“Attainment is rapidly rising. The proportion of students obtaining five or more GCSE grades A* to C including English and Mathematics has nearly doubled in the last year”;
“In the words of a number of those associated with the Academy, the Principal provides ‘inspirational’ leadership. The whole community feels that the vision of an outstanding Academy is becoming a reality.”
In order to deliver this vision, we are looking for experienced hardworking, energetic and innovative Teaching Assistants who will join the SEN/Inclusion Team and help to provide a supportive learning environment to our students. This role involves 1-2-1 as well as assisting with reading programmes and working alongside teachers in the classroom.

We have two exceptional sponsors, The City of London Corporation, and the City University who have first class track records in supporting education in urban areas and who are part of a shared vision and determination to deliver success.
