What the school offers its staff

The governors are seeking to appoint a DT specialist who is either Primary or Secondary trained to join our highly experienced DT team. We are happy to consider applications from people who are newly qualified (ECTs) and excited to embark upon their teaching career with us, or those who are already established teachers.

Applicants are asked to outline what transferable skills they have to support their ability to teach across KS2 and KS3.

The Art & Design Team comprises 3 specialists. We are looking for a candidate who specialises in Resistant Materials/Graphics. DT is taught in mixed-ability classes across the school for all year groups, and pupils benefit from the wealth of experience and opportunities which the staff give them.

The Academy is extremely well resourced with interactive whiteboards in all classrooms, wireless connection throughout, two modern ICT suites, library, dance drama studio and spacious learning rooms. There is a well resourced DT workshop.

Christ Church Academy was last inspected by Ofsted in January 2022 and received a very strong report, stating that the school continues to be good. We aim to be outstanding at our next inspection. We were graded ‘excellent’ at our latest SIAMS Inspection in February 2020.

The normal place of work would be Christ Church Academy. This Academy is part of ‘The Key Educational Trust’ and the Trust reserves the right to deploy the successful candidate to work at any other Academy within the Trust.

In return we can offer you:

• A well-resourced, forward thinking and supportive DT team
• Highly motivated and engaged pupils who display good behaviour for learning
• Excellent care and support for all staff
• Comprehensive induction and on-going opportunities for professional development
