An exciting opportunity has arisen at Barking Abbey School for a Pastoral Coordinator to work alongside our Pastoral Teams.

We are looking for a committed member of staff who would like to undertake this vital role supporting our student’s behaviour, wellbeing, attendance and learning. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to learn new skills, and undertake a developing role, working with a dedicated and supportive pastoral team. Barking Abbey is an Ofsted Outstanding heavily over-subscribed dual campus secondary school in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, with a well-deserved reputation for academic excellence and a supportive professional environment.

The school is located less than 10 minutes walk from Upney tube and 15 minutes from Barking mainline station.

Barking Abbey celebrates its diversity, and we positively welcome applications from all sections of the community. If you are interested in making a difference in young people’s lives whatever your background or history please apply.

In return we offer:

• A supportive and encouraging staff team
• The opportunity to access a wide range of CPD opportunities within and beyond school
• A school which understands the importance of staff well-being and workload management
• A positive ethos with excellent behaviour reinforced by highly visible SLT and centralised behaviour systems

Barking Abbey (BA) and Eastbrook (EB) schools have been working together in a soft federation since September 2023. In this time the schools have collaborated successfully. The schools have formed joint finance, IT, premises, HR, cleaning and catering operations. Our schools are united through the Federation while retaining their own individual identity, ethos, context and character.

We are proud that Ofsted recently judged the school to be Outstanding in all areas. The report states; “This is a large and diverse school where difference is valued. Pupils, and students in the sixth form, are supportive and respectful of each other. Pupils’ conduct is exemplary, both inside lessons and around the school. Leaders have established simple and clear rules that everyone understands. Pupils are focused, engaged and participate well in lessons. Staff feel that their workload and well-being has been carefully considered by leaders. They appreciate their open-door policy”. (Ofsted, February 2024)
