Outwood Primary Academy Bell Lane

Chief Executive Officer: Lee Wilson

Principal: Mrs Rebecca Pattison

We are a primary academy, based in the picturesque village of Ackworth, in the metropolitan borough Wakefield in West Yorkshire.

We see ourselves as more than just a place of learning, but as a true community where everybody works together towards success. As such, we encourage parents to participate in every stage of the learning journey and all aspects of school management.

Always evolving, we are constantly striving for ways to improve and enliven our teaching and give our pupils the edge.

We want you to help to take us to the next level.

To help you do that, we work hard to ensure we reduce workload on our colleagues, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of children first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice.

We will also actively invest in your future through working closely with the Outwood Institute of Education to offer access to a wide range of CPD opportunities, with all staff receiving a minimum of two hours’ CPD each week.

We also offer a generous employment package with a whole host of staff benefits, including a health cash plan, a cycle to work scheme, plus a partnership with car leasing company, Synergy, with offers exclusively for Outwood colleagues.
