The report also highlighted the school's commitment to developing students' practical skills, creativity, and technical understanding through a broad and engaging curriculum.
The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering engaging and challenging Design & Technology lessons across Key Stage 3, developing students' design thinking, problem-solving, and practical making skills.

You should also be willing to contribute to departmental projects, exhibitions, and enrichment activities.
The ideal candidate will hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent, a degree in Design & Technology or a related subject, and experience teaching DT within a secondary school setting.
