Teaching is an exhilarating, challenging and hugely rewarding career. Here in the City of Wolverhampton you will find a warm welcome from schools who enjoy a close relationship with their Local Authority and colleagues at ConnectEd Partnership, whose goal it is to help you to develop, grow and flourish. Many of our schools have leaders who have successfully grown their own careers, often in the city, and are keen to support and guide you through each stage of your career.
Wolverhampton is a city on the move. The City Council’s ambitious plans for regeneration are bringing exciting changes to the City Centre whilst reasonable housing costs make it a good place to start or develop a teaching career. Premier League football, All Weather Horse Racing, as well as cinemas, theatre, music and the Arts all feature in the city’s leisure opportunities whilst teaching in Wolverhampton also allows you the benefits of our central location with good transport and easy access to both the second largest city in the UK and open countryside.
It is an exciting time to be teaching in Wolverhampton: a city where standards are rising in schools. Higher attainment and good pupil progress have resulted in a transformed performance record and a sharp rise in the number of schools enjoying positive inspection outcomes. This has been further built upon by the productive relationship between schools, Trusts and other partners including the collaboration between the City Council and ConnectEd Partnership, to develop a framework of training opportunities and support that match the needs of teachers at all stages of their career.
The city’s children are our motivation and inspiration. They are talented, welcoming, diverse and love to learn. Our teachers are inclusive, dedicated and ambitious for the citizens of Wolverhampton and, together with our schools, we aim to provide you with the support and guidance that will allow you to bring out the very best in our young people and help them to achievements beyond their imagination.
We look forward to working with you in the future.
