A message from the Principal:
As Principal, I am thrilled at the prospect of introducing you to Outwood Academy Carlton, a proud member of the Outwood Grange Academies Trust, serving the community of Royston, Carlton and its surrounding areas. Our core purpose, to ‘Continually and repeatedly grow, well-informed, ‘good’ human beings who are armed with the character, skill, emotional intelligence and qualifications to be personally, occupationally and/or professionally successful people,’is at the heart of everything we do. This aligns seamlessly with the Trust’s vision of ‘students first, raising standards and transforming lives,’ ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive.
I am immensely proud that our students possess a strong moral code and behave well in and outside of lessons and they actively contribute to the wider community. Our students display an in-depth understanding of protected characteristics and understand the importance of fundamental British values. As an advocate of research informed pedagogical practice I am passionate about our 5 pillars of learning. Equally, I am proud of how we explicitly teach behaviours through our personal development curriculum and our positive discipline for learning and life practices. This allows all students to understand how to be safe, be responsible, be respectful and be extraordinary in the 21st century.The unwavering dedication of our staff, who know the needs of students and respond accordingly are pivotal in delivering this holistic education.
We are seeking prospective colleagues who share our passion for developing well-rounded individuals and align with our core purpose. I look forward to welcoming you into our academy.
Mr Paul Taylor
Are you a design technology enthusiast ready to inspire the next generation? Do you dream of a career where you can truly make a difference?
We are looking for an energetic, enthusiastic and inspiring classroom practitioner with a real passion for design technology. We offer an exciting opportunity to join a supportive and motivated team and you must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of ‘students first’. Applications are invited from both newly qualified and experienced professionals with expertise in any of the resistant material disciplines (product design, construction, and engineering).
Outwood Academy Carlton is situated in North East Barnsley and is easily accessible from South and West Yorkshire, with Wakefield, Sheffield, Doncaster, Huddersfield and Pontefract all within commuting distance. We are just 5 miles from the M1.
The Design Technology Department
Our design technology department is a friendly, supportive and high performing team of teachers. The department includes a combination of experienced and more recently-qualified staff. The department is a great place to start your career as a teacher as well as somewhere where more experienced staff can thrive.
The department is extremely well resourced with subject specific equipment. There are two resistant material classrooms and one food and catering classroom. Every classroom has a visualiser and these are used extensively by the team in frequent and highly effective episodes of guided practice to develop strong procedural knowledge and confidence for independent and deliberate practice. There is a substantial departmental office and the department is supported by two technicians (resistant materials and food).
The department is heavily invested in developing strong disciplinary knowledge at KS3 and KS4. We have multiple, thriving design technology clubs that aim to foster a passion for design technology in the real world and equip students with the confidence and skills to be successful.
We have a strong whole-school literacy strategy that aims to ensure that all students can gain the educational and personal benefits of reading and subject-specific tier 3 vocabulary. The department is passionate about students developing their subject disciplinary vocabulary and gives plentiful opportunities for them to do so. Furthermore, there is a comprehensive oracy strategy that is fully embedded within the department and across the academy. This is supporting writing confidence and competence, as well as arming students with exceptional speaking and listening skills.
The design and technology curriculum is built with the end in mind and the KS3 curriculum prepares students for the KS4 qualifications of WJEC Hospitality and Catering (vocational) and WJEC Construction and the Built Environment (vocational). These programmes of study are fully resourced with high-quality materials.
