Teacher of DT - Resistant Materials/Engineering

An Exciting Opportunity to join Nova Hreod Academy - the most improved school in Swindon, bordering on the beautiful Cotswolds and within commuting distance of Bristol, Bath, Reading and Oxford.

We are looking for a Teacher of DT/Engineering to work within our dynamic Art and Design team as we continue our journey to becoming an outstanding school. You will benefit from support and wider opportunities from our United learning Cluster and partnership with Swindon Academy. As well as welcoming applications from experienced teachers and those relocating to the area, the school can offer an excellent support network and induction programme for Newly Qualified Teachers who are committed to helping young people realise their potential.

Nova Hreod Academy, which joined United Learning in 2014 is focused on raising standards for children and young people to ensure that the school is the best it possibly can be for our community. We moved into spectacular new accommodation in 2007.

The Academy has over 795 students on roll. Nova Hreod works in collaboration with Swindon Academy, which is 0.7miles away and has a Sixth Form for 240 students.

The school was inspected by Ofsted in January 2017 and judged to be a ‘good’ school. Inspectors noted that, “The principal insists on high standards of behaviour and discipline across the school. This allows teachers to focus on their teaching without the distraction of poor behaviour.”

• Is a well-qualified, excellent teacher.
• Is a dynamic teacher with high expectations and a commitment to improvement.
• can demonstrate excellent organisational and inter-personal skills and the ability to work as part of a team.

United Learning:

Nova Hreod Academy is part of United Learning, a large, and growing, group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England.

Our schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. Our subject specialists, our Group-wide intranet, our own curriculum and our online learning portal all help us share knowledge and resource, helping to simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance.

As a Group, we can reward our staff better with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits and ultimately the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning) and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’.
