About us

At Penn Fields all students are encouraged to strive to be the best at what they do, whilst trying as hard as they can within all elements of Penn Fields school life. Students leave Penn Fields with the skills needed to become positive members of their community and to contribute to society.

We believe that every moment is a learning opportunity and that every moment matters. The curriculum at Penn Fields is designed to prepare our students for adulthood.

We are seeking a passionate, skilled and highly motivated Maths Teacher to join our dedicated team, delivering Maths across KS3, KS4 and KS5.

- A caring environment built on trauma- and attachment-informed approaches

- Opportunities for career development

- High-quality professional learning
