Wakefield, United Kingdom Outwood Grange Academies Trust Full time

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 for an individual who has high aspirations for students, who is committed, and passionate about learning; who has the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of ‘Students First’.

The role of Teaching Assistant across our Academy is to promote the learning and welfare of students by providing practical and learning support to students, including those with statements of special educational needs, under the direction of the class teacher.

The working pattern for this role is 30 hours per week, term time plus five days.

Outwood Grange Academies Trust provides a high-quality learning and cultural environment that inspires and motivates children. Whether you are ambitious for progression, or determined to be an outstanding member of our support team, Outwood Academy City Fields is the place for you.

If you share our vision, join our Family.
