Organisation

The Creative Industries faculty was newly formed in May 2020 in order to develop and promote D&T and Food. We have great support from SLT and the Headteacher to build and develop the faculty. The faculty has 4 teaching staff and 2 technicians. We are a team made up of experienced staff and those newer to the role. You join us at an exciting time as we start to build on the solid curriculum foundations, we have built over the last 12 months to push the faculty and subjects forward with the aim in the medium and long term to put sustainability in D&T and Food at the centre of our curriculum.

We are looking for someone who is equally passionate about their main subject of Design & Technology and sustainability. We want to innovate within D&T and Food Prep & Nutrition to prepare our students to be the ecologically aware chefs, designers, consumers of the future.

Members of the faculty also have pastoral roles as form tutors.

Accommodation

The faculty is situated in a building shared with Art, Business, Media, IT and Computing. We have two workshops, two classrooms and access to computer suites. There is one food room with 12 ovens, and a food technicians prep room. All members of the department are currently based in their own teaching room and movement between rooms is kept to a minimum to support teaching and learning.

The curriculum

We welcome applications from experienced teachers who can make a whole school contribution, coupled with the enthusiasm to make a real difference to our students.

We are proud of the foundation curriculum we have laid in the past 12 months and are on a 2 year development curve to refine and innovate. We are keen to welcome new ideas and approaches that are supported by educational research.

KS3 and KS4 are taught in mixed ability classes. All core elements of the GCSE are incorporated into the KS3 Schemes of Learning.

Students are taught RM and Food at KS3. At KS4 we offer AQA GCSE Design & Technology and Eduqas GCSE Food Preparation & Nutrition.

We are moving away from the traditional carousel model at KS3 to a model where staff stay with their KS3 classes rotating through the D&T and Food projects with them. Relevant training and support will be provided to upskill the successful candidate.

If you are an enthusiastic teacher with the desire to make a real difference for our students, we would like to hear from you.

Commitment to safeguarding

We are committed to safeguarding children and promoting the welfare of students and expect all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to DBS and other employment checks.
