Anyone wanting to take on this role should be prepared to challenge themselves to meet the needs of a diverse community.
Ofsted noted that putting ‘students first’ is something that directs and guides actions each day. ‘Because leaders set such a strong example of their high ambitions for pupils, other staff mirror these aspirations’. ‘Outwood Academy City Fields is a school where leaders want the very best for pupils’ in whatever walk of life they engage in.

We offer an exciting opportunity to join a supportive and motivated team. An excellent knowledge and understanding of these areas is essential. You must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of ‘students first’. Applications are invited from experienced professionals as you will be leading a team of EAL Teaching assistants to support students in lessons and in intervention sessions.
As a member of the City Fields teaching community you will also be required to teach some English and Literacy lessons. We have nine teachers in English and a one-to-one tutor who specialises in The Ruth Miskin ‘Fresh Start’ phonics programme and an extensive Library which is at the heart of the school to support students’ reading needs which is run by a full-time enthusiastic Librarian. The department has recently been commended by Renaissance for their excellent use of MyOn and the Library is a dynamic environment full of opportunities for reading games and challenges. The department is a combination of experienced staff and more recent entrants to the profession. Teaching takes place in the department’s eight classrooms. Every classroom has a visualiser and these are used extensively by the team. All classrooms have large interactive television screens including the EAL specialist room.
We hope you can join us on our journey!
