Job Description

As Principal of Outwood Academy City, I am really proud to be able to introduce you to our amazing academy. Ofsted tell us that, 'new leaders have begun to transform the culture of the school', so come and join us on our transformative journey. Serving the bustling city of Sheffield, Outwood Academy City 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 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'. 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. We love what we do, and we welcome enthusiastic, dedicated and hard-working people, whatever your experience, to join us on our mission.


Are you a team player, do you want to make a positive change to a diverse and sometimes challenging community, but one which is full of potential. 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. Owing to the nature of the role, an ability to relate to the Academy's students is crucial. Home visits will be required as part of this role so a UK driving licence and a car will be essential.


You must possess both English and Maths Grade C / Grade 4 or above GCSE or equivalent.


As part of a growing multi-academy trust, the successful candidates will be well supported and have access to a range of high quality professional development through the Outwood Institute of Education.


We have won numerous awards as a school and are an IQM Centre of Excellence, which highlights that inclusion at all levels is of paramount importance to us. We are also proud to have been awarded the Gold Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.
