Teacher of Business Studies job summary

Due to expansion and growth in student numbers, this is an exciting time to join Abbeyfield School. Our recent ‘Good’ Ofsted rating (November 2022) highlighted that ‘Staff are proud of the school and enjoy working at it. Leaders and Governors are supportive of staff’s workload and well-being'. As a result, both the leaders and students are looking for high-calibre staff who are committed to delivering outstanding teaching and learning opportunities for all.

In October 2025 Abbeyfield School became part of The Athelstan Trust, one of the leading educational trusts in the South West.

The Athelstan Trust is a successful and growing Multi-Academy Trust consisting of six secondary schools and four primary schools in Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, and South Gloucestershire. We currently employ over 750 people and educate 5,000 pupils and plan to expand further over the coming years.

Against this backdrop of growth and development, we are seeking to make the appointment of a talented and enthusiastic Business Studies teacher to join our thriving Business and Computing Department. As a member of the team, you will be well-supported by a team of dynamic teachers who are passionate about Business Studies. GCSE and A Level results across the department are consistently strong.

Within the Business, we offer GCSE Business Studies, L3 BTEC Business and A Level Business. Within the department we also offer A Level Economics, KS5 Criminology as well as Computing courses at KS3, 4 & 5. Experience of teaching another subject alongside Business Studies would also be desirable

The successful candidate will join an experienced, motivated and collaborative department that is committed to enabling every student to fulfil their potential.

Abbeyfield School offers excellent opportunities for career progression for teachers seeking to develop both their leadership skills and their impact on whole‑school improvement. All staff receive high‑quality professional development, supported by our new position within the Athelstan Trust. As a flexible employer, we welcome applications from part‑time candidates.
