Description 'New leaders have begun to transform the culture of the school' (Ofsted Nov 2024) so come and join us on our transformative journey. Serving the bustling city of Sheffield, Outwood Academy City was constructed in 2011 with state-of-the-art facilities and joined Outwood Grange Academies Trust three years later. The school has undergone a huge transformation for its 1200 students, with an innovative curriculum and a personalised approach to learning, enabling our young people to realise their vocational, practical, creative and academic abilities. 'Pupils learn an ambitious curriculum that the school has carefully sequenced' (Ofsted Nov 2024) to ensure that we give our young people the best chance to succeed. Our students are a really special group of young people, and they are at the heart of everything we do. Alongside our ambitious curriculum, and, as a result of 'high-quality pastoral care, pupils at Outwood Academy City are safe and well-cared for' (Ofsted Nov 2024). Come and take a look at what we offer, and see if you could be a part of our team - WeAreCity and we are striving for excellence. Will you join us? We are seeking to appoint a committed individual to work as part of a dedicated team of inclusion staff together with the Vice Principal of Deep Support. The ideal candidate will support children whose education is at risk, and help families to improve their children's access to learning. We serve a diverse and sometimes challenging community, but one which is full of potential and we need someone with integrity, innovation and drive to work with and support families in enabling all children and young people to maximise their educational opportunities. Pupils who attend the school regularly, achieve well. (Ofsted report Nov 24) Will you join us in making sure more students attend and realise the value of an outstanding education. This is a key role and is an integral part of the academy's journey towards excellence.
