Ofsted tell us that, ‘new leaders have begun to transform the culture of the school’, and there is no better time to join us on our transformative journey. Serving the bustling city of Sheffield, Outwood Academy City has undergone a huge transformation for its 1200 students in the last 18 months, with an innovative curriculum, personalised approach to learning, and excellent pastoral care, that is enabling our young people to realise their vocational, practical, creative and academic abilities.
Our students are a really special group of young people, and they are at the heart of everything we do.

You will need the tenacity and integrity to deliver in challenging circumstances, removing barriers, and communicating a vision that inspires, motivates and enthuses staff, students and the community as a whole. We are passionate about ensuring that every child receives the very best level of education possible, and this passion shines through in all we do.
You will be well supported by an experienced leadership team as we work to raise attainment levels and offer engaging curriculum experiences. The academy benefits from being part of the Outwood Family of Schools and you will be joining an expanding, highly innovative, inspirational and ambitious organisation.
We have won numerous awards as a school and are an IQM Centre of Excellence, which highlights that inclusion at all levels is of paramount importance to us. We are proud to have been awarded Gold Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.

We are an Ofsted Good with Outstanding leadership 11-16 academy, with state-of-the-art facilities, based in the steel city of Sheffield.
We are delighted that in its latest report, Ofsted noted that ‘staff are very proud to be part of Outwood Academy City,’ and that our ‘staff appreciate the high-quality professional development opportunities they receive’ which we offer working closely with the wider Outwood Family.
Serving the bustling city of Sheffield, Outwood Academy City was constructed in 2011 with state-of-the-art facilities and joined Outwood Grange Academies Trust three years later. The school has undergone a huge transformation for its 1000 students, with an innovative curriculum and a personalised approach to learning enabling them to realise their vocational, practical, creative and academic abilities. This was recognised by Ofsted in February 2019, when the academy was judged ‘Good with Outstanding Leadership’. Inspectors noted that, “Leaders and teachers demonstrate high expectations for all pupils. They are determined that pupils achieve well in their subjects”.
We believe this transformation is due to our innovative, knowledge-rich curriculum, designed to personalise learning for every student, helping them to reach their potential.
We have won numerous awards as a school and are an IQM Centre of Excellence, which highlights that inclusion at all levels is of paramount importance to us. We are also proud to have been awarded the Gold Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.
As we continue to improve, help to take us to the next level.
The Outwood Family of Schools pride ourselves on fully supporting colleagues within the Family both professionally and personally.
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.
As a founding Trust of the National Institute of Education (NIoT), we will actively invest in your future through working closely with the Outwood Institute of Education and NIoT to offer access to a wide range of CPD opportunities, with all teaching staff receiving a minimum of two hours of CPD each week.
We also offer a generous employment package with a whole host of staff benefits, including family friendly policies, enhanced occupational benefits available (such as maternity, adoption and parental leave) with no qualifying period, funded CPD for qualifications up to and including Masters level plus other exclusive benefits including a partnership with car leasing company, Synergy.
