Job overview
The governors of Newport Girls' High School wish to appoint an outstanding Teacher of DT to cover a maternity leave from 1 November 2021 until approximately July 2022.

NGHS is also a designated DFE Flexible Working Ambassador School. We look forward to welcoming a new member of staff to the School in November.
Interviews will take place in early July. Closing date is Thursday 1 July.
