We require an outstanding Teacher of Design Technology to join our team as a Deputy Head of Department. 

This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-looking, successful and energetic department with a record of high achievement for students. He/she will have the opportunity to teach KS3 and KS4 across the full ability range. 

We are looking for:

• inspirational leadership in DT, focussed on achieving outstanding outcomes for all students; 
• someone to assist the Head of Department with monitoring the quality of teaching ensuring a consistent and continuous focus on achievement and aspiration;
• someone able to empower and motivate students to achieve their potential;
• a teacher who demonstrates a dynamic and innovative approach in the classroom and demonstrates and articulates consistently high expectations of pedagogy;

We are currently basking in the success of record exam results at both schools in August 2018 and are seeking to move into the top 5% of schools nationally for progress in the near future. We are committed to staff well-being and demonstrate that through our behaviour management and written feedback policies and by offering a few perks; the reduced corporate gym membership and the Wiltshire Rewards cashback programme are very popular. Staff also benefit from our commitment to professional development and, in working as part of a multi-academy trust with four secondary schools, groups of subject leaders and teachers are able to meet regularly to share ideas, schemes of work and to moderate together.
