Summary

What skills and experience we're looking for

STRATFORD UPON AVON SCHOOL

Alcester Road, Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, CV37 9DH

Headteacher: Mr N Wallace

Teacher of Design & Technology

To Start September 2025

We currently have a vacancy for a Design & Technology Teacher. This vacancy has arisen due to SLT approving a reduction in class sizes to 20 in Design & Technology and Hospitality & Catering lessons. This is a huge investment in the department and highlights how well we are valued and supported within the school.

We are seeking a creative teacher who will help shape the future curriculum and deliver high quality daily experiences for our students. We expect the successful candidate to be a strong classroom practitioner in at least one of the Design and Technology specialisms. Experience in, or an enthusiasm for Product Design and Architecture is preferable. We support flexible working and Full and Part Time applications will be considered.

What the school offers its staff

A great opportunity to teach Design & Technology in Shakespeare's town. We:

• have had a very positive inspection by Ofsted under the new framework
• are in the process of developing/expanding our site due to our increasing popularity and increased admissions applications. This will further enhance our already excellent working environment/facilities and provide additional opportunities for your future development
• are a genuinely inclusive school. People matter; everybody matters. We live and breathe by our values
• have strong leadership at all levels. This is a deliberate way of working and the school 'is well led by many'
• have a really strong pastoral system and structures, resulting in high levels of behaviour and buy-in from our students and parents
• have a talented, supportive staff who share and uphold the school's values. They are committed to improving the school further and creating the best possible experiences for our students
• are part of a very special local community. Stratford upon Avon is a wonderful place to work.

There has never been a better time to work at Stratford upon Avon School. This is no ordinary school. There are many excellent schools around, but they all have a very different feel. We are a lovely school with a genuine 'feel good factor' throughout. Our mission is summed up by 3 words, Engage, Enthuse & Inspire, which underpin what we're all about.

We hope you are particularly excited at the prospect of joining us. If you think, you have what it takes, then please submit a completed application form and supporting letter by the closing date.
