Judged ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in 2010 and with a successful Section 8 inspection in February 2020, Yardleys is a thriving, vibrant and heavily oversubscribed 11-16 multi-ethnic academy in Birmingham, with 944 students on roll. The diversity of the school population reflects the rich, cultural mix of the local area.

The school is highly focused on raising standards of pupil achievement through a broad and balanced curriculum and students make excellent progress from their starting points.

The school motto “Working together for a better future” is far more than just words. The collaborative ethos which permeates the school is at the heart of our success. Excellent student behaviour and an extremely well organised school provide the foundation for teachers to focus on delivering outstanding lessons and continuously improving their practice.

The DT department sits within the vocational faculty and has a well-established supportive team, who are committed to ensuring that our pupils continue to make excellent progress. Design and Technology is a very popular subject in the School especially at key stage 4. We wish to appoint an ambitious, creative and dynamic Teacher of Design and Technology who is enthusiastic about developing the curriculum to nurture designers, engineers, and architects of a more sustainable world in which they have an increased understanding of the ever-changing world of Design and Technology.

As well as strengths in planning we are looking for an excellent classroom practitioner with the ability to use data to inform their teaching and expand upon our use of future technologies.

All teachers benefit from a collaborative approach with regular weekly meetings where subject-specific training is provided. Our CPD programme is progressive, dynamic and research informed, providing teachers with a genuine opportunity to develop their subject pedagogy.

A TLR may be available for a suitably experienced candidate. ECTs are also very welcome to apply and will be offered the option of starting in July.

Yardleys offers a commitment to professional development opportunities, a keen eye on staff workload, an excellent induction programme, a healthcare package, state of the art facilities and well-behaved students who are keen to learn.
