In recent years, our school has developed a strong culture of teacher development based upon research, a deep understanding of cognitive science and how this can transform classroom practice, and a willingness from all staff to strive to be even better than they already are. We learn from each other, celebrate good practice and help staff to flourish in their career development. Ultimately, we aim to provide our boys with an excellent, well sequenced and considered curriculum, founded upon key core knowledge and the development of essential life skills such as reading, academic curiosity and the tools to be life-long learners. In addition, we are passionate about developing pupils’ character and ensuring that the boys become well-rounded and empowered young men. This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher of Design Technology with outstanding potential to join a successful department with committed teachers working as a close team.

Ofsted report
“Most recent academy progress data indicate that there will be further significant improvement at GCSE five A* to C including English and mathematics this year. Boys are making at least good progress and this was confirmed during the inspection through the observations of lessons and scrutiny of current work. Some boys, particularly the more able, are making outstanding progress.”
