Job overview

We are looking to appoint a well-qualified and committed teacher of Design & Technology for September 2016.

At Chadwell Heath Academy we provide an excellent education for all of our pupils. In our last inspection the School was judged to be ‘Outstanding’ by OFSTED in all categories. We believe strongly in comprehensive education and its ability to change lives. We believe that pupils have the right to attend a school where they can achieve success. 90% of our students go on to university study. We want pupils to feel enthused by the opportunities that await them, and proud to be part of a multi-cultural community. The School is an oversubscribed 11- 18 mixed gender, stand-alone Converter Academy. We currently have 1200 pupils on role including a thriving Sixth Form of over 300 students. Academic and extra-curricular activities ensure that pupils leave the School fully prepared to take their place in society.

We have very high expectations of all staff and for the right person this is a superb opportunity to develop teaching and leadership skills through bespoke CPD provision and opportunities for in house career progression. This includes a comprehensive induction programme for all new staff. You will be working in a modern, well resourced, supportive environment, which has excellent facilities which include: classrooms in a new purpose built block, interactive white board and projector. There are clear schemes of work for all courses offered.

The post will require the successful candidate to teach across the faculty at KS3, with the opportunity for a suitably qualified candidate to teach their specialism at KS4 and 5. They will be passionate about their subject, dedicated to providing exceptional learning experiences in the classroom, and keen to contribute to wider aspects of school life. You will be joining a department with an excellent long term track record of success. The Creative Studies department covers 3 subject areas: Design & Technology, Art and Food Technology. Both Product Design and Art have an average GCSE A* - C pass rate over the last three years of 80%. While at AS and A2 there are strong pass rates and attainment at all levels.

About Chadwell Heath Academy

The School

We are a successful, all ability 11 to 18 six form entry co educational Academy. We have approximately 1230 pupils on roll, including a Sixth Form of around 300

We believe in the importance of supporting and encouraging all our students to succeed. It is our expectation that the majority of our pupils will complete their education in our Sixth Form.

To encourage achievement, effort grades and credit certificates are presented throughout the year for academic, artistic and social endeavour. Academic progress is monitored through a mentoring programme and regular assessment. All pupils are tested in formal end of year examinations.

Support teaching is an important feature of our approach to education. Pupils with learning difficulties are carefully assessed and given additional help in subject lessons.

There are many opportunities for pupils to develop their special interests and aptitudes, with many clubs connected to academic subjects as well as regular Music Concerts and Drama productions providing the opportunity not only to perform, but also to be involved 'backstage'.

Pupils have the opportunity to join teams in many different sports and participate in numerous inter school competitions.

We are very much part of the community and all Year groups become involved in charity work.

How the School is Organised  
On entering our school, pupils are placed in one of six tutor groups under the pastoral care of a Form Tutor and Head of Year. They stay within this group to the end of Year 11 thereby ensuring that they have the continuity and stability necessary for success.

We seek to create an environment in which pupils feel that staff are available to listen to them, guide them and where necessary take action on their behalf. We find that this is best achieved by organising the School into three tiers, corresponding with each of the key stages. Each tier has a Head of School whose responsibility is to coordinate the work of the academic and pastoral teams to ensure that all our pupils achieve their very best.
