As a successful and dynamic Academy, Garforth is an exciting place to learn and a great place to work. If you choose to come and join us, you will become part of a well-established, talented, and committed team of staff.
Your new school

The academy serves a predominantly urban catchment area, which includes Garforth, Kippax, Aberford, Micklefield, Swillington, and Colton among others. We are a large and oversubscribed academy, and we pride ourselves on knowing our students well and doing our best to ensure everyone fulfills their potential.
Your new role
We have an exciting teaching opportunity and are looking for an outstanding, committed, and motivated teacher to contribute to the development of teaching and learning and curriculum in our History department.

At Garforth, we value the continuous professional development of all our employees and recognise that our staff and students are most successful when they feel happy, valued, challenged, and supported to achieve their very best. We have a comprehensive CPD programme for all our staff.

We are confident our Academy provides a fantastic teaching environment, whether you are beginning your career or looking to further develop it, and we would encourage you to come and see for yourself!
