About this Role

Join us on an exciting journey of transformation and excellence.
At Tapestry Learning Partnership, we believe in the power of education to change lives. Formed in January 2026 through the merger of two strong trusts, QEGSMAT and Djanogly Learning Trust, we are building a future where every child succeeds and flourishes.

About the Role
A Teacher of Food Technology is responsible for delivering high‑quality teaching across Key Stages 3 and 4, ensuring students gain essential practical skills, strong subject knowledge, and an understanding of nutrition, food preparation, and the wider food industry. The role includes planning engaging lessons, assessing pupil progress, and supporting the wider school ethos.

Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed Food Technology Teacher to join our vibrant team at Chellaston Academy. You will inspire students across KS3 and KS4 through engaging practical and theory-based lessons, bringing strong subject knowledge, creativity, and a passion for helping young people achieve their full potential. If you are motivated, student‑focused, and eager to contribute to a supportive and values‑driven school community, we would be delighted to receive your application.

About Chellaston Academy

At Chellaston Academy, children are at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is to create mature, confident and successful global citizens who can thrive in an ever‑changing world, guided by our shared values of Integrity, Care and Excellence.

While strong academic outcomes matter, we believe success is defined by far more than examination results. We are committed to developing the whole person, nurturing qualities such as self‑confidence, self‑belief and self‑esteem, and recognising and celebrating individual talents.

Our students benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum, and we work closely with parents and carers to ensure that, when expectations are high and shared, every child can achieve great things. This includes promoting an excellent attitude centred on respect, high standards of appearance, good manners, full attendance and punctuality.

Chellaston Academy is a school where:

  • Diversity is celebrated and inclusion shapes everything we do.
  • Children feel safe, happy and supported.
  • High expectations drive achievement for all.
  • Relationships between staff and students are strong, respectful and built on trust.
  • Staff wellbeing is valued, and colleagues genuinely enjoy being part of our community.

Why Join Tapestry?
As part of our Trust, you’ll benefit from:

  • A supportive network of professionals who share your commitment to excellence
  • High-quality professional development and career progression opportunities
  • A caring, inclusive organisation that values staff wellbeing and work–life balance
  • Access to a range of employee benefits designed to promote health and wellbeing

This is your chance to be part of something special.  Help us shape the future and make a lasting impact.
