Description
Garden Fields is a popular, growing, well-resourced school, located on the northern outskirts of St Albans. We have pupils who are well behaved and keen to learn, and serve a supportive community. We have over 520 children with pupils taught in single-age classes of 30. Reception children are admitted in the September before they turn 5.
From September 2015 the school expanded to three forms of entry starting in Reception and grew each year until 2021 when the school was three form entry across the school with a capacity of 630 pupils. The school has now reduced its form of entry to 2 classes of 30.
Garden Fielfds is proud to be part of The Ambition Education Trust (AET) which consists of ten schools in Hertfordshire; three primary, one nursery and infants’, one juniors and five secondary. Our Trust launched in September 2024 following the amalgamation of two established Multi Academy Trusts (MATs), Alban Academies Trust and Atlas Multi Academy Trust. Our aim is to build on our proven track records of maintaining exceptional standards and driving continuous school improvement.
Providing ‘educational excellence for all’ and making superb learning opportunities available to all the children and young people in our schools, requires exceptional teachers and support staff. As a trust we strive to offer rewarding careers and opportunities for personal and professional development throughout our organisation and we are always eager to hear from talented individuals who want to make a difference.
Within our schools and trust central team, we have a wide range of fantastic roles both within teaching, including newly qualified and unqualified teaching positions, and school support roles, such as classroom and learning support, administrative support and roles within our business functions. We are also proud to provide a great range of flexible opportunities including term time and part time working.
Should you have any queries, please telephone, email or visit the school – you will be most welcome.
