Job overview
A small school doing big things


“Addey and Stanhope school is a very special school, for students and staff alike. I joined in 2020 and can say, that by far, it is the best school I’ve ever worked at. There is a level of trust, where you are allowed to be the professional you are. I’ve felt valued and supported every step of the way and consequently feel driven to give my best.”


“The school has an inspiring atmosphere of calm and learning which is VERY unusual in any school, let alone one in such a deprived area. I can speak with authority having visited around 130 schools a year as part of my role.”


“There is a definite sense of community at this school. Staff speak highly of the way leaders consider their workloads when making decisions. Teachers new to the profession feel very well supported, including with how to manage behaviour. Staff retention is high.” OFSTED 2023


We all work at Addey & Stanhope because we believe that we can make a difference to the life chances of the young people of Deptford. This has remained the core purpose of the school for over 400 years, and this will never be compromised. We have an outstanding reputation in our local community and beyond. You will be joining a school that is nationally recognised in a range of areas both academic and pastoral.

Addey and Stanhope is a school at the heart of the Deptford community in South East London. We are a small, caring, high-achieving school that is rich in tradition and history. Above all, we are a family at Addey and Stanhope – teachers, students, parents/carers and governors – a family that has the happiness, health and success of our students at the heart of everything we do.
The school is mixed, non-denominational, and was reclassified from a grammar school to a voluntary aided school in 1977. It is heavily oversubscribed each year and extremely popular with parents because of its reputation and ethos. We are proud of its comprehensive intake, excellent results and the fact that our students speak of Addeys as a ‘second family’.
At Addey and Stanhope we are committed to staff wellbeing and we provide a unique programme of professional development. We close early one day a week in order to facilitate this. We have strong links with a range of partners (locally, nationally and internationally) and this contributes to the professional learning of our staff.
Deptford is a vibrant and eclectic community with a thriving arts scene, only 5 miles South East of central London. The school has excellent transport links and is served by the underground, trains, DLR and buses.
