Outwood Academy City Fields is an 11–16 academy based in the friendly cathedral city of Wakefield. The Academy was rated Good by Ofsted in March 2022. We joined the Outwood Family of Schools in 2018. Excellent teaching and the highest standards of behaviour are at the heart of everything we do, and we champion innovation in all aspects of learning. We were delighted that in its latest report, Ofsted noted, “Outwood Academy City Fields is a school where leaders want the very best for pupils. Their motto of putting ‘students first’ is something that directs and guides leaders’ actions each day. Because leaders set such a strong example of their high ambitions for pupils, other staff mirror these aspirations”.
We know that the ingredients of a great school are an inclusive, broad and balanced curriculum, high-quality teaching and learning, positive behaviours which promote engagement and great pastoral support, which, when combined, can create a great culture where we raise standards and transform lives. At the heart of everything we do is excellent teaching and the highest standards of behaviour. We champion innovation in all aspects of learning while striving to develop a school-wide mindset based around mutual respect and tolerance.
We are looking to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and inspirational teacher to join our Mathematics Department. This is a fantastic job opportunity for a teacher who really wants to make a difference to the lives of young people and show them the cross-curricular nature and beauty of the mathematical world. Our single goal is ‘Students First’, and you will be joining a strong team of professionals working to this sole aim.
Our Mathematics Department consists of eight teachers and two one-to-one tutors. The Department is a combination of experienced staff and more recent entrants to the profession and is given strategic direction by supportive and determined leaders. We have the benefit of support from the Trust's team of expert Maths Directors, who provide support, materials, advice, and coaching and who model and team-teach in lessons alongside us to develop our expertise. The Department has created a rich and engaging curriculum which has deep roots in teaching for understanding. Our curriculum is differentiated by depth, ensuring all students build firm foundations, develop confidence and retain their learning.
If you care about the success of your students and colleagues and have the energy and determination to make that success a reality, we would welcome your application.
