Are you passionate about high-quality teaching and learning and a life changing quality of education? 

If you answer ‘yes’ to these questions, we would love to hear from you.  

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic Teacher of Design/Food Technology who can deliver an enriching curriculum, within the Art & Technology department.

The suitable colleague will have the desire to develop and deliver an outstanding curriculum offer, which will support the schools’ keys priorities.

You would be expected to develop, plan and deliver highly effective learning experiences to all students across every key stage and lead a transformational extracurricular offer.

With our outstanding commitment to developing new teachers, we are delighted to invite applications from both ECT’s and experienced teachers.

Successful candidates will transform their practice through our instructional coaching offer. As one of 10 nationally selected Steplab Hub Schools, staff benefit from this expertly led programme underpinned by cutting edge research into cognitive science.
