TEACHER OF FOOD & TEXTILES TECHNOLOGY
Salary negotiable within the Pay Range of £22,916 - £38,633
An exciting opportunity for an industrious and talented teacher to join a thriving Art, Design and Technology Faculty in one of the highest performing schools in Cheshire East. The school is committed to the importance of the technology curriculum for all students.
You would be joining a collaborative and innovative faculty who are passionate about Art, Food/Textiles, Design and Technology. We are looking for a practitioner with flair and passion who is capable of inspiring the next generation of food specialists and designers.
You will be able to deliver active and engaging lessons across the full age and ability range, up to A level, in Food and Textiles. The ability to offer Health & Social Care would also be an advantage. The courses are very popular at both key stages.
Applications from experienced, recently qualified and newly qualified teachers welcomed.
Alsager school is a fantastic place to work with motivated and well behaved students, a committed and experienced governing body, dedicated staff and supportive parents. Children of all abilities make impressive progress throughout the key stages. In 2018 82% of students achieved 9 – 4 in GCSE English and Maths. In addition the school’s GCSE Progress 8 score for 2017 was a very impressive +0.31, putting us in the top 25% of schools nationally. Our Progress 8 score for 2018 is looking very similar to last year.
We can offer you exceptional CPD, we are part of the Chimney House Teaching School Alliance, a comprehensive induction programme, a laptop, reduced staff membership rates at the on-site Leisure Centre Fitness suite and there are excellent road and rail links to Alsager.
