Are you an enthusiastic, passionate Teacher of Design & Technology with a proven track record of strong outcomes looking to join a successful and supportive school?

Wadebridge School is seeking a qualified Teacher of Design & Technology to join our well-resourced and thriving Design & Technology department.

This role would be suitable for an experienced teacher or early career teacher (ECT).

Wadebridge School is an oversubscribed highly successful 11-16 academy with a strong reputation for academic excellence and student support.

We are proud to be a Single Academy Trust, meaning we can focus on what matters most – our students, staff, and wider community.

Within Design and Technology, students study a wide range of specialist subjects across key stage 3 including Product Design, Textiles, Architecture and Food and Nutrition. At Key stage 4, students have the option of studying AQA GCSE Product Design and WJEC Hospitality and Catering, with both areas continually increasing in popularity and success. We have strong links to industry and frequently work with local businesses and chefs in the local area to enhance student learning.

The Design Technology department is well resourced, with a dedicated IT suite, large workshops with separate teaching and practical spaces and three newly refurbished food classrooms. Our dedicated team is supported by 3 technicians.

This position would suit an experienced teacher with a track record of excellent student progress across Key Stage 3 and 4, or equally a newly qualified teacher who can demonstrate the potential to make a positive impact on students’ outcomes. The successful candidate should be enthusiastic, confident, with an absolute commitment to the highest standards of teaching and learning and a genuine enthusiasm for nurturing a passion for technology.

Candidates should have energy and vision to build on the current progress of the department and be keen to develop existing modules of work to promote student participation, progress and attainment and to realise aspirational progress for all.
