A well-qualified, dynamic and ambitious teacher is sought to join our Design & Technology Faculty which consistently achieves excellent GCSE and A-level outcomes. The faculty is based in a new state-of-the-art Design & Technology Centre with some of the best resources and facilities in the country. We have a large, strong and vibrant Sixth Form and Design & Technology subjects are a very popular choice for our students.
