This post is mostly required to support the Product Design (workshop) subjects’ delivery to a comprehensive range of 11-16 year old's. Our particular ethos focuses on students learning how to make quality products using timber, plastics, metal and electronic components. As the students progress through the school, we challenge them to design original products which fully utilise their practical skills.
As a comprehensive academy, our overriding aim at TSA is to ensure that our students achieve everything that they are capable of. We recognise every student as an individual, with different needs and talents, and we work hard together to make sure we support and nurture successful, happy and confident learners who achieve in the widest sense of the word, and not just academically.
At Moorlands Learning Trust (MLT) we are aspirational for every student within our Trust and are committed to achieving success for all and inspiring others to do so too. We believe in investing in the professional and career development of our staff to keep ourselves at the cutting edge of educational developments, where staff wellbeing is also a key priority for us and our schools.
