Teacher of Food Technology/Textiles job summary
We require for September 2021 a teacher of Food Technology/Textiles to join this very successful and supportive department. Ideally we would initially hope to recruit someone who can confidently teach Food at KS3, KS4 and potentially KS5. The ability to offer Textiles at KS3 and KS4 would be advantageous. However, given the size of the department and range of subjects we teach, including Health and Social Care and Child Development, there may be some degree of flexibility to vary this.

Whitley Bay High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Whitley Bay High School is a mixed 13-18 comprehensive school. The school has grown considerably in size over the last decade, and is oversubscribed each year. Currently the roll is 1702, with 590 in the Sixth Form. There are 175 members of staff, 113 teaching and 62 support staff.
Key milestones in the school’s development include the award of Leading Edge Status in 2003, one of the first 100 schools nationally to achieve this status, and the successful bid for Specialist College Status, which took effect from September 2006. The bid focused on the core subjects – English, Maths and Science, in order to impact on every student in the school. Greater curricular choice, more enterprise and more vocational opportunities came with the status, as well as new initiatives with our partner schools and local community. We aim to produce ‘gifted all-rounders’ who have high levels of literacy, numeracy, oracy and ICT.
More recently the school became one of the country’s first Teaching Schools and became a National Support School in 2011. Both of these accolades emphasise our role at the forefront of research and practice in Teaching and Learning, and bring significant responsibilities for outreach work, training teachers at every stage from ITT to prospective Headship and leading CPD programmes all over the country.
