Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint an outstanding teacher of Design and Technology to lead our D&T Department through this challenging time of curriculum change. The successful candidate will already have held leadership responsibility within a D&T department and will clearly be able to demonstrate their effectiveness in improving student outcomes for their own and other classes. Becoming Head of Design and Technology in a rapidly improving school such as ours is a big step, but you’ll be joining a dedicated team and will receive expert support from your SLT line manager.
You will be passionate about the importance of Design and Technology and will want to develop the D&T curriculum to enthuse our students, to unlock their capacity for innovation and creativity, and to equip them to become the designers of our future world.
Langdon Academy is a 3-16 school, sponsored by Brampton Manor Trust. We work in close partnership with Brampton Manor Academy (an outstanding 11-18 Academy), which is the other school within our multi-academy trust (MAT). There is great spirit, energy and optimism in the school since joining the MAT in 2014 which has led to substantial improvements and successes in every aspect of school life, placing the school slightly above the national average for Progress 8 and substantially above for the English Baccalaureate. However, this is by no means sufficient, given the potential of our students.
This is an excellent time to join Langdon Academy and Brampton Manor Trust, providing opportunities for further development, including future potential to gain experience in Langdon’s Primary Phase or in Brampton Manor’s highly successful Sixth Form. So, if you’ve already strongly established your teaching and leadership credentials in a secondary D&T department, it’s time we talked.
Please visit our websites at www.bramptonmanor.org or www.langdon.newham.sch.uk to apply and obtain further details about this role. All completed application forms must be sent by email to jobs@bramptonmanor.org.
Brampton Manor Trust is an equal opportunities employer. We are fully committed to the safeguarding of children. Enhanced DBS, Barred List and Prohibition checks will always be carried out on new employees.

About Langdon Academy
Langdon Academy is a mixed, non-denominational all-through academy school for three to 16-year-olds located in East Ham in the east London borough of Newham. It has capacity for just over 2,400 pupils.
The school is part of the Brampton Manor Trust, a multi-academy trust which also runs Brampton Manor Academy. Langdon Academy (previously Langdon School) joined the trust in 2014.
The school was originally three separate institutions, built in 1953. In 1972, these schools - Burges Manor, Thomas Lethaby and East Ham Grammar School - were combined to form Langdon School, a mixed comprehensive that would later become Langdon Academy.
