The Bright Futures Educational Trust (BFET) is a partnership of schools based in the North West. The Trust’s vision is the best for everyone, the best from everyone. Our values of community, passion and integrity are at the heart of everything we do.

Benefits include: working cross-phase, knowledge exchange between our schools and the opportunity to work with some of the most inspiring colleagues in their profession.

Altrincham Grammar School for Girls (AGGS) was in the first cohort of schools to be designated a National Teaching School in 2011. AGGS is the lead school in the “Alliance for Learning”. Our teaching school alliance comprises schools of every type and phase, plus universities, throughout a wide geographical area. The impact of teaching school activities is felt within the Trust and far beyond.  We have a reputation for excellence regionally and nationally, of which we are very proud.  The appointed candidate must be willing to engage in the school’s commitment to developing AGGS as a centre of excellence for teaching and learning.

The successful candidate will teach D&T GCSE with a textiles specialism, for one year. Resistant materials and textiles classes will be merged at GCSE in the future, reflecting changes to the GCSE specification.
