A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to join a high performing team of specialists in maths at Outwood Academy Portland. You will be joining an established and supportive team of 15 full time teachers, of which two are members of our senior leadership team. We also have a team of support staff providing additional interventions to students, including one to one tutors and a specialist teaching assistant.

Since joining the Outwood Family in 2012, our students have achieved impressive exam result success.
We have created an educational environment where staff and students constantly strive to improve; where teachers sharpen their skills and expand their repertoires to deliver an outstanding learning experience; and where teachers, classroom assistants, mentors, tutors, inclusion support assistants and students operate as a seamless team.

Following its latest visit, Ofsted noted that our ‘teachers and support staff comment positively about the opportunities they have for regular training to develop their skills.’

We work hard to ensure we reduce workload on staff, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of students first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice.
