**“Inspiring Academic Excellence Across 5 Continents”**

A definitive statement of excellence in private education, Inspired is a co-educational, non
- denominational, independent school group designed to inspire students to achieve their maximum potential in a nurturing, progressive academic environment from ages 3 months to 18 yrs.

Inspired offers a fresh and contemporary approach to education by re-evaluating traditional teaching methods and curriculums, and creating a more dynamic, relevant and powerful model reflecting current attitudes. We nurture the unique individuality, talent and self-assurance of each student, equipping them to take on the world with the skills and confidence to ensure success.

Our current portfolio of schools currently operates across Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, with quick ongoing expansion foreseen. The group has grown exponentially since its founding 7 years ago and offers a unique opportunity to join a connected global community obsessed with a dedication to excellence.

We take great care when selecting new colleagues to join Inspired Education and handpick every single role. We believe true excellence in education is only achieved through an inspiring and passionate team that are dedicated to supporting our schools to recruit and retain students by sustaining engaging and inspiring learning environments through our 3 pillars: Performing and Creative Arts; Academics and Sport.

Professionalism, responsive teaching, specialist knowledge, strong planning, excellent qualifications and an outstanding personal reputation, are just few of the core requirements we look for when recruiting Inspired teaching staff.

**King's College Panama**

Our school in Panama opened in September 2012. We are proud that King’s College was the first British curriculum school in the country and that our students are the pioneers of British education and values in the region. Since first opening our doors the school has grown substantially and we now have a student community of more than 400 from Pre-Nursery to Year 13. In order to ensure we can continue to cater for the demand in the local market and maintain our Vision to be at the forefront of British education internationally, we recognise the need to continue to improve our facilities and learning spaces. For this reason in 2021 King’s College Panama will be moving to a new location, still in Clayton and very close to the current school location, but into a brand new a custom-built campus, offering all the facilities to optimise both in and outdoor learning for our students.

**_ Curriculum_**

In Primary, the school follows a creative curriculum and students are individually tracked and targets set to enhance learning. Classroom assistants are in all EYFS classes and shared throughout the Primary department. The Primary school is working on life without levels and being a relatively new school, the curriculum is evolving and developing. The school uses Abacus Maths, Read Write Inc, ORT, Big Cat Collins and Oxford Owl.

In Seniors, the school is accredited by both Cambridge International Examinations and Edexcel; students work towards IGCSE programmes. The Senior School has specialist teachers and holds specific areas for Art, ICT and Science. The development of the Seniors is fundamental to the school's future progress and the high quality of teaching and learning will address our first graduates needs in 2020.

At the end of their studies, children will also be entitled to their Panamanian leaver certificate. It is hoped that King’s College Panama will follow the other King’s Group schools and have many children attend top universities around the world. Links with COBIS allows teachers to develop and keep abreast of UK policy. Internal promotion is encouraged and there are opportunities to become Coordinators and develop through Middle Management programmes.

The school had an agreement with the Panamanian Ministry and all teachers play a role in training and mentoring Panamanian teachers annually.

**_ Ethos_**

The school is based on the principles of a UK independent school. Pupils are expected to work hard, take academia seriously, and strive for their best results. We aim for confident and independent learners. They are also expected to play a full role in the life of the school, taking advantage of the
