Job Overview We are looking to appoint a qualified, passionate and committed design and technology teacher to join our growing school. The successful candidate will support in delivering our unique curriculum and help to develop a positive learning environment to meet a range of student needs. The successful candidate will be committed to using adaptive teaching methods, so students of all abilities enjoy their learning and are motivated to succeed. Edison Pace School is a rapidly growing independent secondary special school, catering for children with a range of needs. Our calm and quiet environment is suitable for those children who have high anxiety, have previously been school phobic and are socially reserved. Students at Edison Pace School engage in a broad, balanced, and enriched curriculum, including outdoor education and a high emphasis on personal development and social skills. We teach in small groups of up to six in a class, enabling appropriate support and highly effective personalised teaching. Through our curriculum we offer accreditation opportunities from Entry Level Certificates and the Duke of Edinburgh Award, through to GCSE/Level 2 qualifications, dependant on each child’s learning pathway and progress. This creates a culture where everyone can succeed with pride on their journey into adulthood. Our pastoral emphasis is based on building high-quality, authentic relationships with our students. We achieve this through providing small group learning and by matching our students by their developmental stage as opposed to their chronological age. Our curriculum offer is differentiated to ensure all students progress. In support of this all staff receive training in ACE’s, attachment, ASD, ADHD, zones of regulation, restorative practices, Makaton and other appropriate and tailored training, dependent upon the cohort and individuals. We also emphasise the importance of therapeutic approaches, including speech and language specialist support.
