Job overview

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to teach CDT part time here with us at Bury Grammar Schools. This role will be 0.4 FTE on a fixed term contract of 1 year starting from September 2018.

The CDT department is housed in its own purpose built block on the Bury Grammar School Boys Campus.  It houses a suite of networked computers and is equipped with a state of the art 3d printer.  All boys take CDT in KS3 and there is a GCSE Design Technology course in KS4.

Lessons are based upon the premise that students need to have a certain level of skill and knowledge of materials and process before they can start to produce some self-design work. The curriculum is intended to introduce the students to a range of materials and process that will equip them with some basic information that they can take forward in later years to produce substantial design and make tasks. It is understood that design is not a linear process and students may have to revisit a discipline several times for different materials to fully understand it.

There are also standalone design tasks that are set as part of the whole school ‘internal assessment’ program that give a snap shot of a student’s ability at a given time.

Some of the projects involve an introduction to 3D Drawing and Computer Graphics, CAD CAM (vinyl cutting), Pewter Casting and a range of Electronics based activities.

For futher information, please see job application pack.

Closing date is 4th April at 12pm.
