This post would be ideal for an experienced teacher with a passion for the subject, a proven track record of success and a commitment to supporting all students to achieve their full potential.

You will have an important role in building on the good standards already achieved at Perryfields. We are very proud of the achievements our students make academically and in many other spheres. We aspire to provide the very best educational opportunities and outcomes for all of our students and OFSTED acknowledge the progress we are making; awarding us ‘Good’ in January 2018.
