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 an enthusiastic Teacher of Science. You will have good subject knowledge, a passion for Science, and want students to love Science as much as we do. You will be excited to share your love of science with our students.
The Science department at City Fields is an eight strong team of experienced teachers who offer our school a wealth of knowledge and experience. Our team contains a variety of science specialists from all disciplines and staff are always on hand to help out with theory or practical queries in their specialist area. We are very much a team and no one is left on their own at City Fields.
We have one fantastic technician who services eight labs, two of which are brand new state of the art labs and we are expanding our practical facilities each year. We also have an in-house one to one tutor to support our students in our bespoke one to one teaching room.
Our students come from a wide range of multicultural backgrounds and many go on to study science in their further education. They are very much influenced by their aspirational and enthusiastic science teachers to pursue science further. You will be making a difference to their lives every day. We offer extracurricular science activities to our younger students to nurture a love and curiosity of science from the start of their time here, and we also work with our local primary schools to share this passion and curiosity with younger students as well.
