• We are especially keen to hear from candidates who can offer Photography as a second subject.
As Teacher of 3D Product Design, you will join an outstanding team of inspirational teachers, where you will ensure that our students enjoy and achieve highly in their Product Design learning. You will be a Product Design specialist in the secondary phase. We ideally need a strong GCSE teacher as most of your teaching will be in Years 7 – 11. This is an exciting time to join our Creative Arts & Technologies Department, with opportunities for professional development ranging from KS2 transition with Year 6 to inspiring our students to choose Creative Arts and Technologies studies at Sixth Form and at University. The ability to teach Photography to GCSE would be an advantage, but not essential.

We plan with creativity and teach with enthusiasm, ensuring that every student reaches their full potential.
