We are seeking an innovative, passionate and inspirational Design Technology teacher to join us to teach DT, from Years 7 to Year 13.

An ability to teach across a variety of subject specialisms would be a distinct advantage. Nikki, our Head of Faculty, is happy to offer any support and training should you need or want it. The one thing you will most definitely need is a vision for DT teaching and learning and know how to motivate our young people to feel the same.
Design Technology subjects are a popular option at GCSE and A-Level, and you will be joining this department of Product Design, Textiles and Food specialists at an exciting time, working alongside the Head of Faculty and Team Leaders in state of the art technology facilities.
We will give you a curriculum framework, a modern classroom with excellent facilities, comprehensive CPD opportunities, your timetable of classes and above all, the freedom to teach with creativity to motivate our students to work hard and achieve their potential.
The Regis School has excellent facilities on a large campus that includes a Sports Arena, nursery, primary school, Adult Learning Centre and Youth Centre. The school itself is large and modern being only 7 years old and offers a fantastic learning environment that is well respected. We are proud to be a ‘Gold’ Rights Respecting School recognising our commitment to upholding the rights of the child (UNCRC), a well-respected Sports College, an inclusive school gaining the Equalities Award, and an Artsmark Gold school. All staff and students know that we aspire to be a top performing school and we are making rapid progress in order to achieve this aim within the next 3-5 years.
We are happy to receive applications from every level of the teaching community. You might be looking for your first teaching post; that’s great as we will support you and offer you structured training to make it the right start to your career. You might be looking to move schools or areas; that’s great too. We recognise we can all learn from each other and we love new ideas! You might be looking to return to teaching after a break; brilliant! We can offer you a great place to find your feet again and rediscover your love of teaching.
We offer payscales above the national standard with rapid progression for those who get consistent outstanding student outcomes, reduced gym membership to our on-site gym, reduced fees for the on-site nursery, a laptop and a tablet device.
There is an open invitation for you to come and see us because we appreciate that, in teaching, moving to a new school is a significant decision.

The Regis School is a secondary 11-18 school with over 1600 students on roll. We are an inclusive comprehensive school that aims to achieve the best for every student. This philosophy is reflected in the successful Sixth Form of 160+ students who are offered a broad range of academic and vocational programmes. Over 70% of our students progress to Higher Education each year.

We have approximately 200 staff, all of whom are committed to providing the best possible education for our students. As one of the biggest employers in Bognor Regis, we emphasise the learning of adults and young people.

Academic achievement is at the heart of what we do, ensuring students leave with the highest qualifications that enable them to be competitive in the global economy.
