There is a strong sense of community within the school and a real desire amongst staff to grow and develop our teaching and provision. We are committed to ensuring a truly inclusive, enjoyable and successful school environment for all children.

Every student has a place in our school and the team are committed to high standards and expectations in every aspect of our work.

Design and Technology Department

This is an exciting opportunity to join and lead our Design and Technology team at a time when the curriculum is being re-launched and refined. The Design and Technology Department is a popular curriculum area within our rapidly improving school. The Design and Technology Department is well-resourced and offers a range of disciplines at KS3 including Product Design, Textiles and Food. We currently offer GCSE Design and Technology alongside a course in Hospitality at KS4 and are looking for someone with the ability to offer Product Design.

At The Bluecoat School every lesson counts and we centre our practice in the classroom around quality first teaching. Expectations in lessons are high and tasks are ambitious for all, so you will need to be passionate about developing pedagogy to enable all students to make good progress.

We are seeking a Head of Department to run our Design and Technology Department with a specialism in Design and Technology or Product Design.
