Job overview
The Governors wish to appoint an outstanding individual to lead the Resistant Materials/Product Design Department from September, as we continue to move from being a ‘Good’ to ‘Great’ school for our students and the wider community. Our school is growing and is heavily oversubscribed again, for September 2019.
We are an ambitious, friendly, rural Secondary (11-16) School on the edge of the New Forest in Wiltshire with talented staff and motivated students and a strong family atmosphere.
The successful applicant will:
- Have the ability to lead and teach Resistant Materials/Product Design across KS3 and KS4
- Be committed to achievement for all
- Have the skills to deliver high quality learning to students in KS3 and KS4
- Be ambitious for themselves, students and the school
- Be fully committed to their continuous professional development

Our Design & Technology Department team currently consists of an experienced Subject Leader, along with three experienced teaching colleagues and three Technicians. Students are highly motivated, engaged and achieve well. From September 2019, we have decided to create Subject Leaders in the three main areas of Resistant Materials/Product Design, Food & Nutrition and Textiles. However, we envisage Subject Leaders working very closely, to ensure a rounded technology experience for our students.
Candidates should note that The Trafalgar School is a founding partner of a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) with a growing partnership of other schools, known as the Magna Learning Partnership. To all new staff joining any of the schools, this may afford the exciting opportunity to work in more than one school as the need arises. Your interest and readiness for this will be discussed at interview.
