Ofsted, February 2023

Northfield School is a large 11-16 community school and specialist sports college.  We are an ambitious and inclusive school with state-of-the-art facilities and interactive technology in a well-resourced newly refurbished main building and a separate Year 7 school.

Following an inspection in February 2023, Ofsted judged the school to be good in all areas. Results in the summer continued the upward trend. This is a great time to join our Science Department and a fantastic opportunity for the right colleague.

We wish to appoint a highly motivated and inspirational teacher of science. The successful candidate will teach across the Key Stages and will have the necessary subject knowledge, drive and determination to raise achievement for all pupils.

The appointed candidates will join a dedicated and supportive team, which is very well led and managed. 

We can offer you:

  • an enthusiastic, talented and supportive team
  • a newly built and superbly resourced teaching and learning environment
  • excellent opportunities for CPD
  • a staff health and well being programme
  • a warm, friendly and positive working environment where everyone is valued
