Teacher of Design and Technology

Up to Full Time

Salary £31,650 to £49,084(Main Scale 1 to Upper Pay Scale 3 – dependent on qualifications and experience)

To start January or September 2025

We are seeking a highly-motivated and passionate individual as a Teacher of Design and Technology at Driffield School and Sixth Form. Our Design and Technology team is a friendly and supportive department. If successful you would be teaching across the department at Key Stage 3 including some Food and Nutrition and specialising in either Design and Technology or Engineering Design at Key Stage 4. You would be working closely with our Subject Leader of Design and Technology, in an established team with three teachers and two technicians. We have excellent facilities, with well-equipped workshops and promote the highest standards of teaching to support students of all backgrounds and abilities.

What the school offers its staff

In their last visit (January 2020), Ofsted described our school as a ‘happy and friendly place,’ providing ‘a good quality of education to its pupils and sixth-form students.’ As a school, we are dedicated to providing a great teacher in every classroom and are committed to high-quality, collective teacher development. This helps us to reduce the replication of effort and helps all teachers to thrive in our setting. We do this by prioritising the continuing development of our staff. This comes in a variety of forms: professional subject-specific development delivered in department time; INSET days as well as through CPD opportunities across The Education Alliance.

Within The Education Alliance Multi Academy Trust, there are lots of opportunities for collaboration and also further opportunities to develop and progress.As a trust, we are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives.For too long in many schools, staff have been asked to choose between being seen as good at their job and being a good mum, dad, partner, son, daughter or friend. We are doing everything we can to support our staff to balance the demands of their jobs and those at home.

To support this, we:

• Trust our staff to plan, prepare and assess at the best time for them, allowing them to go off-site in their PPA
• Have centralised our Behaviour Policy so teachers are freed up from supervising detentions
• Demand ethical leadership built on professional trust
• Reject fads and ensure our CPD is evidence-informed and predominantly subject specific
• Have reduced data collections to twice yearly
• Do not expect staff to respond to emails outside normal working hours
• Do not deploy staff at other Trust schools unless it is at their request

We have removed the following:

• Performance management objectives and performance-related pay
• Lesson observations and high stakes, toxic accountability
• Onerous marking policies
• Requirements for daily or weekly lesson plans

Above all, we recognise that seeking to remove the number of tasks staff undertake will have little effect on improving work/home balance if this happens within a toxic culture. To support this, we offer training for our leaders to ensure they are able to translate our values into behaviours which are built on the principles of dignity, respect, professionalism and integrity.

Driffield School is based in the heart of the rural Yorkshire Wolds and is easily accessible from local towns and cities (with commutes of 20 minutes from Beverley, 30 minutes from Scarborough and 40 minutes from York or Hull).As a school, we are immensely proud of our students and would welcome the opportunity to meet you and show you around our school community. If you would like an informal discussion about the role, or would like to visit us to see what we have to offer, please contact Jess Burnell on 01377 232362 or by email athr@driffieldschool.org.uk.

The deadline for completed application forms is 9 am on Thursday 10 October and we anticipate that interviews will be held on 15 October 2024. We look forward to receiving your application and we will contact you once your application has been reviewed.

Driffield School and Sixth Form is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

What the school offers its staff

Blenheim is a dynamic, exciting and supportive environment in which to work. The school opened in September 1997 with one year group and has grown to its current size of 1337 students on roll including over 200 in the Sixth Form. Blenheim is a mixed comprehensive and our reputation in the community is excellent. In 2019, Blenheim was characterised as a ‘good’ school following a Section 5 Ofsted inspection. Ofsted commented that the school had excellent capacity to continue improving. Blenheim converted to Academy Status in March 2012 and has developed many community and primary school links. Blenheim is a well–resourced school and is fortunate to have outstanding facilities. Together with a very supportive and well qualified governing body the school has invested significantly in several areas, not least in the appointment of high-quality practitioners and on-site infrastructure. Visitors often comment on the calm, purposeful learning environment that pervades. Blenheim sets high standards in terms of uniform with several ‘non-negotiables’ and there are strict expectations regarding behaviour and conduct, both in and out of the classroom. Ofsted described Blenheim as ‘calm, orderly and purposeful’ and our students as ‘respectful, kind and courteous’, which is what those of us who work at Blenheim see every day. As Blenheim students prepare to take up their place in society they are actively encouraged to become independent learners. Part of this process involves the integration of iPads across the curriculum; all teachers and 98% of students own one. Technological evolution is inevitable and this approach is key to ensuring that students develop attributes that will allow them to adapt in a rapidly changing world. The iPad complements daily teaching and allows students to easily access a multitude of interactive and innovative resources both in and away fromschool.

Commitment to safeguarding

Blenheim High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
