Each subject area (product design, textiles, food, art, engineering, construction, creative technology and child development) consists of at least 2 specialist rooms with a compliment of specialist resources as well as our own computer suite. The large curriculum team consists of experienced teachers and 3 technicians who will always offer help and guidance to make staff feel welcome and supported both within the team and the school.
We are looking for a driven and well-qualified Subject Lead who, under the support and guidance of the Director of Design, Art and Technology, will assist with the development of Design Technology (Food & Child Development) in the school.

If you are a highly effective teacher, able to form excellent educational relationships with students and staff and are confident in the development of engaging schemes of learning, we would love to hear from you.
We are very proud of our extensive CPD offer and value the development of all members of staff and if you join us as an ECT 2, you will benefit from our successful and supportive Futura Learning Partnership ECT Induction Programme with an experienced, fully trained mentor who will support you every step of the way.
