The Arthur Terry School

Arthur Terry School is one of the top performing Outstanding comprehensive schools in Birmingham and the base of an Outstanding Initial Teacher Training Programme (Arthur Terry SCITT). Newly rebuilt just over a decade ago, our school has extensive facilities and almost 2000 students, including a large sixth form.

Our SCITT is one of only a small handful of Ofsted-rated Outstanding providers nationally. We are look to train and recruit the very best people and have placement schools in the West Midlands, Staffordshire and Warwickshire, offering diverse experiences in both rural and urban settings.

We are now recruiting for highly motivated graduates, for both Primary/EYFS and most Secondary school subjects. We welcome applications from all walks of life, either straight out of University or those looking for a career change.
