Overview
As a voluntary-aided school of over 2,000 students including a thriving Sixth Form of over 500 students, JFS is one of the top schools in the country for attainment and progress, and a place where we hope children grow into excellent adults prepared for everything ahead of them. Named one of the top-performing state schools of the year in the Sunday Times rankings and achieving a Progress 8 score of +1.16, we are proud of our results and recognise that they form only part of what schools should aim to achieve.
In looking for a teacher to join our school, we are seeking someone who is a fantastic classroom practitioner and motivated by developing both children and adults. Our wish to build a truly exceptional school is founded upon building an enthusiastic, caring and talented staff, and nothing is more important to us than the people we work with. By way of support for anyone who joins us, you will be led by a superb Subject Leader in a well-resourced and highly capable department.
Responsibilities
We are keen to appoint a Teacher of Technology who has the skills and flexibility to deliver high-quality teaching across a range of disciplines. The successful candidate will have experience in Product Design and be able to contribute to Textiles and potentially Art and Photography, ensuring that students are inspired, challenged and supported across a broad and creative curriculum. This is an exciting opportunity to shape provision in a department that values innovation, practical application, and cross-disciplinary learning. A willingness to bring creativity, adaptability and high expectations into the classroom will be central to success in this role.
Working Environment
Beyond departmental support, the school does everything it can to minimise distractions and staff are never expected to run detentions, meetings are kept to a minimum and duties are extremely limited. Our aim is always to allow people to focus on the core aspects of their role. Classes are calm and purposeful and our students are eager to succeed. Alongside strong lessons, our students also receive high-quality pastoral care across the board. We have a team of 17 full-time professionals coordinating our provision and, at a time when external services are so hard to access, we are proud of the support we are able to give in school. JFS is a school where relationships matter, where warmth and laughter are possible because boundaries are clear and where our teachers hold higher expectations for our students than they might hold for themselves.
