The successful candidate must be able to teach Design Technology to Key Stage 4 and be specialist in at least one subject (Food, Textiles, Resistant Materials)
The department consists of a team of four (full-time equivalent) teachers, delivering Food, Textiles and Resistant Materials and a team of 1 full-time and 3 part-time technicians supporting students and staff across the department.
We believe that for students to lead happy, fulfilling, and independent lives, they need to be given the tools to cope with challenge, change and failure. We encourage resilience by enabling students to manage risk and experience success, regardless of their academic strengths or personal circumstances. Students design and make products through a range of media, considering the needs of others in society. They learn an understanding of aesthetics, social and environmental issues, function and industrial practices.
Since our core business is learning, we are committed to the professional development of each of our staff, whatever their role in the school. If you would like to join a committed, professional and passionate team in our journey to being a school which is outstanding in every way, please consider applying.
