We place students at the centre of everything we do, with a focus on creating a culture of success and a positive climate for learning.

All three sciences are strong and popular at Outwood Academy Acklam, with pupils regularly achieving the highest grades from a wide variety of socio-economic backgrounds. We have excellent practical teaching resources and two wonderful technicians to support your practice.
The science element of the role will involve teaching across Key Stages 3 and 4. At Key Stage 3 (Years 7 – 9) science is taught as “General Science” through our evolving, dynamic and well-resourced new KS3 course. At Key Stage 4 most teachers specialise in their degree subjects, and are actively encouraged through our Outwood Institute of Education subject CPD programmes to broaden their specialisms and future career opportunities.
