Teacher of Design Technology

A rare opportunity has arisen to join our team in South Warwickshire’s beautiful, Tudor town of Henley-in-Arden. Where better to teach Design Technology than in Sir Frank Whittle’s Warwickshire? DesignTechnology sits within the Faculty of Physical Sciences, so you will benefit from joining a large team of supportive colleagues. We’re fortunate that our medieval, market-town location means we attract motivated and enthusiastic students from across Solihull, South Warwickshire and Worcestershire.

You will be joining a very established team of experienced and supportive colleagues. The vacancy arises due to our current colleague seeking a position closer to home; we’re sad to see them go, but we’re equally excited to welcome someone new! We're looking forward to reading letters of application from experienced teachers, or from newly qualified entrants to the profession; NQTs enjoy a full programme of support, or for more experienced colleagues, we are delighted to be able to offer access to National College leadership programmes through our Teaching School partnerships, including NPQML and NPQSL. 

Celebrating a third consecutive year of record results, teachers that are passionate about teaching and learning will thrive here – join us in our relentless pursuit of ‘Achieving Excellence Together’. Design Technology is one of the most popular subjects in the school, with two GCSE option groups in every cohort.

Visits are welcome (and encouraged!) so that you may see for yourself why Ofsted recently reported that our thriving students have ‘… good attitudes to their work and are well behaved’, and that ‘pupil attainment remains high and above national averages … [and] pupils make good progress across a wide range of subjects’ (November 2017).
