Job overview
Teacher of Design Technology
MPS/UPS (suitable for an NQT)
September 2019 start
Do you want to be part of our team and ‘family’ of people who are working together to achieve our mission of preparing all of our students for success in high quality apprenticeships or at university and beyond?
Do you want to work in a school where you are free to teach within a supportive positive culture unhindered by bureaucracy?
We have a huge demand from students for both KS4 and 5 DT and Engineering courses across the campus and this demand is growing.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious practitioner, who wants to develop their skills under an experienced head of department and make a real impact on further driving up standards.
We have very high expectations of all of our staff, but we value them highly, and treat work load very seriously. Our systems ensure you can really focus on your core purpose – teaching, in a sustainable way, unhindered by bureaucracy or poor behaviour.
What we can offer you:
- A professional progression model to enable you to progress in your career
- Workshops that are well stocked with a range of tools machinery
- Support and line management from an experienced Head of Department
- Great students who behave excellently – you can make a massive difference to them
- Clear behaviour systems
- Centralised homework detentions (you do not need to organise/run/chase them at all)
- A feedback policy focused on closing the gap– we do not have onerous/impossible marking policies
- A centralised homework system at KS3 – you do not need to mark KS3 homework
- No formal graded lesson observations – just ongoing ‘no-stakes’ feedback, helping you to continuously develop – we believe that trusting our staff with autonomy helps to develop a strong staff culture
- Collaborative planning with centralised, shared units of work and resources
- CPD that starts as soon as you are appointed with a clear induction programme
- A beautiful campus situated on the very edge of the Cotswolds, only half an hour from Oxford and an hour from London by train
The successful candidate will be:
- an excellent teacher of DT, who has a love for the subject
- someone who does whatever it takes to ensure the life chances and ‘cultural capital’ of their pupils is maximised
- totally aligned to our values and mission. If you are the type of person who fits with our culture, you will love working here
- aligned with our teaching philosophy, built around Lemov’s ‘Teach Like a Champion’ and teaching ‘powerful knowledge’
- You will have excellent progression opportunities as our MAT continue to grow in our South Central region
