Business Studies/Computing Teacher

Who are we?

Lordswood Boys' School is a thriving, ambitious and highly successful 11-16 school at the heart of Central Academies Trust. Outcomes across key measures are above or significantly above national averages, and the strength of our work with disadvantaged pupils has been recognised nationally, with the Secretary of State recently writing to congratulate the school on the outcomes achieved by this group. Over the last three years the school has grown significantly, and our latest inspection has reinforced the secure, sustained trajectory of improvement that has been built over more than a decade.

This makes now an exceptional time to join Lordswood Boys' School. You will become part of a flourishing environment filled with determined, optimistic young people and staff, united by a clear sense of purpose. We know what we do well, we are honest about what we need to do even better, and we are relentless in our ambition for every stakeholder. Rooted in our ethos that literacy builds success, and aligned with the trust-led ambition set out in the Schools White Paper, we are building a school and trust community with the confidence, capacity and moral purpose to grow.

At LBS, colleagues benefit from high-quality professional development, genuine opportunities to lead and influence, and a strong package of staff support. This includes our Westfield Health plan and employee support programme, with benefits linked to optical, dental and physiotherapy costs, access to a 24/7 doctor line / virtual GP, and wider health and wellbeing support designed to help colleagues feel valued, looked after and able to do their best work.
