Technology NQT for September 2020 job summary

Are you looking to start to your teaching career in a supportive school who will help you become the teacher you want to be?

We are seeking a newly qualified teacher to join our successful and forward-thinking Design Technology department to teach Fashion (Textiles) up to KS4, with the potential for KS5 for the right candidate, and with a little Food Technology. You will be a creative thinker with a modern approach to design and the use of technology, while ensuring that key traditional skills are learned and retained by students. You will join a well-equipped and leading department in a heavily over-subscribed academy.

Our Ofsted Report February 2020 says “The school has a warm and welcoming atmosphere” and “Pupils at The Highcrest Academy happily live up to the school’s motto of ‘aspire and achieve’.”.

Our aim is to establish a culture of excellence throughout every element of our academy and move us from Good to Outstanding.

Just 30 minutes by train from Central London, The Highcrest Academy is the first All Ability Academy in the county of Buckinghamshire. It is culturally diverse and a vibrant school making it a fantastic place to teach. We have some students who will need all your support and yet have also featured in the national Ofsted report for providing challenge to the most able.

There are approximately 1,000 students on roll, which includes the Sixth Form. A new building programme, just completed, comprises a brand-new Sixth Form Centre, sports facilities including a gym and dance studio, and a new restaurant and coffee shop for both students and staff. We also have a thriving House system that brings our whole school community together.
