We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher of Design Technology who can deliver an enriching curriculum, within the Art & Technology department.

The suitable colleague will have the desire to develop and deliver an outstanding curriculum offer, which will support the schools’ keys priorities. Our DT department is fully equipped with innovative technology, for an exceptional curriculum offer.

You would be expected to develop, plan and deliver highly effective learning experiences to all students across every key stage and lead a transformational extracurricular offer.
With our outstanding commitment to developing new teachers, we are delighted to invite applications from both ECT’s and experienced teachers.
St Mark's were inspected by Ofsted in March 2023. The Academy performed exceptionally well in all areas, with particular reference made to expert curriculum design; transformational teaching and learning underpinned by the highest expectations; the extra-curricular offer and staff and pupil wellbeing.
The report states, “there is enough evidence of improved performance to suggest that the school could be judged outstanding if we were to carry out a graded (section 5) inspection now.”
This could not be a more exciting time to join the St Mark's family. Outcomes at the Academy at both Key Stage 4 and 5 are in the top 10% of all schools nationally. In 2022 an impressive 58% of all A Levels were awarded A*-B grades and the Progress 8 Score was +0.59-ALPS Grade 2.
