Highbury Fields School is a truly special place in which to learn, teach and lead. An 11 to 18 girls’ school, we serve a culturally rich, but often underprivileged, community and are fiercely determined that every child in our care will become a confident young woman, who is socially and academically accomplished.
The school’s 2016 ‘outstanding’ OFSTED report and 2019 progress 8 score of 0.82 have established our students’ reputation for academic excellence and we are highly regarded in the local community for our calm, focused learning environment.
However, we are neither complacent nor satisfied. The school strives to be excellent in all aspects of its work but there are vital areas of our provision that are yet to meet our exacting standards or our ambitions for our students.
‘As a school in which everyone is recognised as an individual, Highbury Fields inspires students to be highly aspirational and have very positive attitudes to their education.’
Ofsted October 2016
It is in this context that the school is seeking a talented Teacher of English to join our dedicated team. Thanks to the exceptional attitudes of our students and the dedication of their teachers, English is flourishing at Highbury Fields School.
