This is an opportunity for you to work with some extraordinary and aspirational students, in a developing area of East London. The Gascoigne community is a very special place, and we are privileged to have built a school at its heart. The school is driven by the dreams, aspirations and ambitions of our students and the wider community and we would love you to join us in helping us to build a school which will drastically improve the life chances of our young people. Aspiration is at the heart of everything we do, and we passionately believe our students can compete with any other child in the country.
Greatfields opened in September 2016 and we will eventually grow to become a ten-form entry school with 1800 pupils, including sixth form, in purpose-built new accommodation. We currently have approximately 1200 students across Years 7 to 13.

You will be joining a highly motivated and passionate group of staff who work tirelessly in the best interests of the students. Staff development is central to everything we do and you will receive weekly coaching sessions, a personalised CPD programme which best fits your needs and clear pathways for progression.
