Ferndown is a successful 13-19 Upper School that is a centre of excellence for STEM. We have a strong reputation for supporting and inducting ECTs and experienced teachers. Digital Technology is currently composed of three teachers and two support staff, with plans to expand with an additional three teachers and two more support staff over the next few years.
The department is a friendly, collegiate team, who work hard together to achieve high standards and have achieved excellent results. It is a strong faculty with high levels of recruitment and success at A Level, with many going on to take these subjects at University. With its expansion to delivering Digital T Levels and the creation of a new Digital Education building for September 2022 we are seeking to increase the number of digital practitioners in our department to help take us to the nexT Level!
As a lead STEM school, we have a sophisticated range of STEM enrichment in place, including the EPQ, engineering competitions and extra-curricular clubs.
What Ferndown Can Offer You:
• Great students who behave – you can make a difference to their learning.
• The opportunity to work with outstanding colleagues.
• Tight, robust behaviour systems.
• Highly visible and supportive senior leaders (who have your back).
• Centralised detentions, including homework detentions (you do not need to organise/run/chase), helping to underpin our excellent behaviour, so you are free to teach.
• A feedback policy focused on whole class feedback – you do not need to mark exercise books – we do not have onerous marking policies.
• No formal graded lesson observations – just ongoing ‘no-stakes’ feedback, helping you to continuously develop – we believe that trusting our staff with autonomy helps to develop a strong staff culture.
• Centralised, shared units of work and resources.
• Excellent ongoing CPD, career development and promotion opportunities.
• Really well-kept site and a very pleasant location in beautiful Dorset.
