About the role
Design & Technology is based in a well-appointed, purpose-built centre containing two Product Design workshops, a Textiles room and a Food Technology room, and a 30-station computing suite.
The Design & Technology team consists of five teachers and two support staff. Although the Design and Technology curriculum is mainly taught in the individual subject areas, there is a team approach to the organisation and the teaching of Key Stage 3.
Design & Technology is taught from Years 7 to Year 9, through a variety of different courses. The Key Stage 3 curriculum is very successful in providing a sound background for the Engineering GCSE course.
In Key Stage 4 the department prepares pupils for the AQA Engineering GCSE course. The department also offers the AQA Product Design A Level course.
There are fully equipped purpose built rooms in the Technology Centre. The department is continually developing the CAD/CAM facilities and has 2 3D printers, a sublimation printer with heat press and a vinyl cutter to complement our 2 laser cutters.
There is also a CAMM 2 milling machine and an
embroidery/sewing machine. The excellent ICT facilities in the school have enabled CAD/CAM to be used in a variety of courses in the department.
Approximately 43 teaching periods per fortnight, up to 90% contact time with 10% PPA time.
ECTs will have a 10% reduction in their teaching load and one hour a fortnight contact time with a subject mentor.
