Teacher of Design & Technology

Do you want to work in a Good School? Are you enthusiastic, passionate and have a good sense of humour? We would love to hear from you.

We are an oversubscribed, rapidly improving Good school and have sustained continuous improvement over recent years as recognized in our Ofsted in November 2017. We achieved an increase of 12% in our 5 A*-C En/Ma pass-rate this summer. Our Basics measure also improved by 9% this year. Our Progress 8 score (0.37) is significantly above the national average and joint third in the Local Authority. We are a Good school with a very strong Sixth Form with results among the best in the country, and we are the highest performing school in North Solihull.

As a result, we require a highly motivated and talented practitioner of Design & Technology; someone who is committed to raising the expectations and achievements of our young people within this good department. We are looking for an inspirational individual with creativity, enthusiasm, sensitivity, resilience, strong interpersonal skills and a proven ability to motivate young people. We require a well-qualified and innovative specialist who is passionate about teaching GCSE Design and Technology, with a strong background in Mixed Materials.

We promise to offer you both a stimulating and highly rewarding experience in return for your motivational skills and good practice. Come and visit us – you will not be disappointed. Exceptional candidates may be interviewed prior to the closing date.
