Head of Design & Technology

I would like to thank you for your interest in joining our community at Morecambe Bay Academy

Morecambe Bay Academy is a coeducational 11-18 school located within the beautiful Morecambe Bay. We are a part of The Bay Learning Trust and are one of a family of four secondary academies. Our priority as a Trust is to improve the quality of education in all our schools and so enhance the life chances of our young people. Equally importantly, we want to develop well-rounded and considerate students who will contribute to their local communities and make a positive difference wherever they are. An excellent education is about more than examination results!

Morecambe Bay Academy is on a journey of improvement. We look forward to welcoming a candidate who is firmly committed to our ethos of creating a sense of belonging, an optimistic outlook that encourages and enables students to believe in their potential and a firm commitment to securing the very highest levels of achievement.

As the new Principal of the academy, I want to place our academy at the heart of our local community so that our students are proud members and contributors within the local area. 

The successful candidate will be an individual who strives for the highest levels of achievement for all their students. They will  understand and seek to promote a wide range of enrichment activities, within their classroom teaching, the local area and further afield. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is aligned with our values and has the drive, skills and enthusiasm to make a real impact in our community.

We seek an enthusiastic and inspiring individual to lead our Design and Technology Department from September 2021. 

The successful applicant will be innovative and forward looking and have a clear vision for the future of Design and Technology.  They will be an outstanding classroom practitioner, capable of leading a department to achieve the very best for the students.

The ability to teach Product Design is a necessity for this post.

As part of the wider Academy community, applicants must demonstrate a willingness to be an active participant in the Trust family of schools. 

Successful applicants must be committed to Safeguarding and will be subject to an enhanced DBS and Child Protection Checks. We are an equal opportunities employer.

This post will attract a Recruitment and Retention Allowance and a TLR.
