Court Fields School is a significantly improving school, with a culture where ‘hard work is expected’. Court Fields staff and students are committed to improving rapidly to be a great school where every child, regardless of background, achieves well, feels they belong to our community and fully participates in school life to develop character and the resilience to succeed. We have a proven track record of training and developing new entrants to the profession to a high standard, with many of our trainees and Early Career Teachers quickly moving into leadership positions within the school and wider Trust.

We are seeking applications from graduates with a 2:2 or above in Sciences, Mathematics, or related disciplines. It is not vital that your first degree is in the subject that you intend to teach, but additional training may be needed to enhance your subject knowledge if it is not. Experience working in an educational setting with children and young people will be a benefit, but the most important thing to us is your outlook and drive to continually improve. Teaching is a highly rewarding career choice but is one which requires you to hold yourself to the highest standards, to be self-motivated and work independently and to continually reflect on your practice and how you can succeed. Successful applicants for this programme will be resilient, reflective and driven to succeed in everything they do.
