North Bromsgrove High School is an exciting place to work and learn, and is one of the quickest schools in the country to move out of special measures in only nine months.

We have a biggest cohort of Year 9 joining us in September 2021 and the sixth form provision has broadened, also leading to greater numbers.

North also benefits from its location: it is just south of Birmingham and attracts many staff from that area via a short commute; it is also between the M5 and M42 hence providing ease of access for staff travel.

We are looking forward to reading letters of application from experienced classroom practitioners with a track record of success who believe they have the skills and experience needed to become lead practitioners

Ofsted recently reported that our students ‘conduct themselves well in lessons and at unstructured times’, are ‘friendly and courteous’ and that ‘teachers are ambitious for students to achieve their best….’. (May 2019).
