Subject: STEM
Woodfield Academy joined the Bordesley MAT from Easter 2022. We work closely with Trinity High School, Birchensale Middle School and Holyoakes First School in a very localised MAT focusing on the development of children in Redditch. Working together as part of the three-tier system we aspire to improve the educational offer for the local community.
Woodfield Academy sits at the heart of Redditch. The buildings and grounds are extensive and we are very lucky to learn in the buildings we have. The pupils have access to all the facilities from Year 5 which make the three-tier system unique in that pupils receive specialist teaching in the foundation subjects. We are well equipped with two Science labs, a designated technology block with cooking and resistant materials equipment, a library, a gym, a main hall with staging for performances, 2 ICT suites and a full size astro-turf which is the envy of the local community.
The Governors and Headteacher are looking to appoint a forward thinking teacher who has up to date knowledge of the latest strategies to improve progress for all pupils in STEM. This is a fantastic opportunity to work with leaders in Science, Maths and Computing to put STEM at the forefront of the Academy and to share the common goal of becoming a leading educational establishment within Worcestershire.
If you meet the above criteria and are excited about the opportunity to contribute to our dynamic educational community at Woodfield Academy, we encourage you to apply for this position.
