What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint a teacher of Technology who is looking for a new challenge and is willing to join an innovative and forward-thinking department. The ideal candidate must have a real passion for their subject and be equipped with the skills to maximise outcomes for students at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. Technology is currently taught once a week at Kingsway Park High School at Key Stage 3 and by Year 9 offers several distinct pathways at GCSE including 3D Design, Graphics, Engineering, Food Science and Nutrition and Construction. All of these options are becoming increasingly popular with our students, and we are looking for someone with the drive and passion to continue to increase the subject popularity through the delivery of quality lessons, production of engaging resources and extensive use of their own subject knowledge. The ideal candidate will be expected to deliver predominantly a range of technology subjects at KS3 including Food science and nutrition, Design technology and ICT. You will also be expected to deliver KS4 lessons in your chosen specialism. This is an exciting time to contribute to the remapping of the technology curriculum and to align the curriculum intent with the school’s new mission statement- ‘We Cooperate, We Pioneer, We Belong.’
