Teacher of DT (1.0 or 0.8 FTE)

Teacher of DT (Food and/or Textiles) at St Thomas a Becket School.

The Bishop Konstant Catholic Academy Trust comprises of three Secondary Schools and twelve Primary Schools. We have a vision for our Trust that goes beyond our individual academies and that changes our perception from my academy to our academy. Working collaboratively, each academy benefits from others’ strengths and expertise within the Trust, and practically from the services provided and procured centrally.

An appointment as teacher of DT at St Thomas a Becket is an opportunity to join a highly successful team of talented, committed staff, enthusiastic, friendly pupils and a community of supportive families and a highly dedicated Trust.

We believe that our success derives from our inclusive, pupil-centred focus; our commitment to the continuous review of curriculum and pedagogy; our focus on CPD; and a strong belief in the need to work within a set of Catholic values which underpins all that we do.

We are looking to appoint a teacher of DT who is not just passionate about DT themselves, but also about instilling an appreciation of the joy of DT in the students we proudly serve. We are looking for an excellent teacher to complement our brilliant team and to continue to drive results and the development of our pupils. DT is a hugely popular option choice and our uptake at KS4 is increasing year on year as our newly developed KS3 scheme is embedded.

We are forecasting 2 DT classes, 1 Textiles class and 1 Food class in year 10 next year.
