Job overview
This is an exciting time to be Leading Future Technologies across Archway Learning Trust. Curriculum Convergence is established and increasingly successful in raising the quality of education across all our academies. We are now looking for a Trust Lead for Future Technologies to take DT, Computer Science and IT curriculum convergence to the next level, developing plans and resources and improving implementation and outcomes in the next phase of convergence. This will involve continuing and enhancing the planning, resourcing, implementation and assessment of the Future Technologies curriculum across all trust schools, including the question-level analysis and interventions that will improve pupil outcomes.
In Computer Science and IT, curriculum convergence is embedded across several years. Curriculum Convergence in Design and Technology is not yet embedded. Curriculum Convergence does not require uniformity, and the DT curriculum will always be contextualised to local specialisms and physical resources (such as specialist rooms and machinery) but it is the Trust’s belief that the majority of the DT curriculum could be converged across all academies, enabling better joint-planning, assessment standardisation, moderation and teacher development.

Archway Learning Trust, previously Bluecoat Academies Trust, was formed in April 2014 as a result of the very long and successful history of Bluecoat Academy. We are based in the heart of the city of Nottingham, providing high quality learning experiences for students from the ages of 3 – 18.
With the success of Bluecoat Primary and the development of our primary offer, Archway has been asked to support and work in partnership with a number of primaries across the region. This, along with more primaries joining the Trust, has enabled us to create an exceptional primary Senior Leadership Team to support Leaders in our schools.
Our Trust is made up of both Church of England academies and schools of no designated religious character. This unique blend has created a distinctive family of schools that are bound together through a passionate belief in the transformational power of education for every child.

Our aim as a Trust is to shine a spotlight nationally and internationally on our inclusive ethos so that more schools and academies can be encouraged to take up our approach to inclusive, enriching, knowledge based teaching, preparing young people for lifelong learning based firmly on our Christian principles. All academies retain a high level of autonomy and individual character – understanding their own local context to best serve their community. In turn, it is our responsibility centrally to provide high quality support services, so that leaders at a local level can focus their efforts on shaping teaching and learning opportunities that are of the highest quality and continually improving.
It is our people that make our Trust – and we invest heavily into our colleagues to ensure they feel recognised, supported and developed. CPD and career development play a key role and the growth of our Trust is a truly exciting time for prospective candidates who are looking to further their careers in a dynamic learning community that has opportunity at every point to share and learn from each other in order to become the best that we can be.
It is our aspiration to be recognised as an employer of choice and to support this we work hard to develop our “Archway People Offer” and as part of this we have shaped an employee benefit package for colleagues including discounted travel, shopping and gym memberships. We also offer access to health and medical services and a cycle to work scheme. To hear directly from our colleagues about what makes Archway Learning Trust different click here.
We are proud of our diverse student population and passionate to create a staff team reflective of this diversity. We actively welcome applications from all backgrounds and you can be assured of a warm welcome at Archway.
