What skills and experience we're looking for
The Cowplain School is seeking to appoint a skilled and inspirational Second in Technology. The successful candidate will work with the Head of Science and Technology to develop Technology further. This would be a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious teacher to take the first step into leadership, co-leading a Technology department delivering 3 KS4 courses (Engineering, Textiles and Food and Cookery) and Design Technology at KS3 based on textiles, graphics, engineering and food and cookery.
You should be an excellent teacher who has demonstrated that your students make good progress. We would also expect you to be someone who forms effective relationships with students, parents and colleagues and has the skills and drive to ensure our students receive the best possible learning opportunities. As a leader at The Cowplain School, we would invest in you and develop your leadership potential and start you on a journey to middle and senior leadership.
We are extremely ambitious for our 1000 students and have a strong vision to ensure that the life-chances of every young person are enhanced by quality teaching, leading to excellent outcomes.
The successful candidate will:
- Ensure that the curricula provision across all Technology subject areas challenge our students to think hard, understand diversity and develop their character, our three curriculum strands.
- Drive forward the quality of teaching and learning in the Technology department.
- Monitor and support the progress of students, working alongside the Head of Science and Technology to deliver impactful interventions.
If you are a committed practitioner with high expectations also with regards to behaviour and standards, who is passionate about the students we work with, we will be looking forward to your application.
What the school offers its staff
In the Technology department we have two Food Technology rooms, three Technology rooms, a dedicated Workshop and a Computer Suite.
All teachers teach in their own room, equipped with projector and screen, and everyone receives a laptop. We offer all members of staff a full induction programme and significant opportunities to develop their expertise. Colleagues at the school work together to support each other and we have an active wellbeing committee.
As a leader at The Cowplain School, we would invest in you to ensure that you develop the skills and expertise needed to ensure those that you teach acquire skills vital to their future. In addition, we would develop your leadership potential and start you on a journey to middle and senior leadership.
