Cranbourne has a commitment to improving teaching and achievement (last year, we had some of the best results in the local area) and we encourage staff to work with a high degree of independence and creativity.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic Teacher of D&T (Resistant Materials) who would enjoy being part of a forward thinking and popular D&T Department. The subject is housed in a specialist suite of rooms, which includes an office and staffroom for our RM teacher.

We offer an excellent induction programme, an exciting learning and teaching environment and first-class on-going professional learning opportunities to further enhance your career. This position, within a College dedicated to rapid improvement, would be an ideal next step for a D&T Teacher who would value first-hand experience of strongly led college improvement. This role is perfect for a strong practitioner who wants to play an integral role in promoting D&T across KS3 and KS4. Visits to the College are warmly welcomed. Our students are our best advert.

We aim for a happy environment where children feel secure to challenge themselves and are confident to try new experiences. The school has a strong year based team of tutors and two full time pastoral staff for each year group. Our curriculum (choice of subjects) is diverse, because we would like students to play to their strengths and follow their interests, as well as giving a good grounding in the national curriculum.
