Description This post is a full time with part time considered, permanent position. 'New leaders have begun to transform the culture of the school' (Ofsted Nov 2024) so come and join us on our transformative journey. Serving the bustling city of Sheffield, Outwood Academy City was constructed in 2011 with state-of-the-art facilities and joined Outwood Grange Academies Trust three years later. The school has undergone a huge transformation for its 1200 students, with an innovative curriculum and a personalised approach to learning, enabling our young people to realise their vocational, practical, creative and academic abilities. 'Pupils learn an ambitious curriculum that the school has carefully sequenced' (Ofsted Nov 2024) to ensure that we give our young people the best chance to succeed. Our students are a really special group of young people, and they are at the heart of everything we do. Alongside our ambitious curriculum, and, as a result of 'high-quality pastoral care, pupils at Outwood Academy City are safe and well-cared for' (Ofsted Nov 2024). Come and take a look at what we offer, and see if you could be a part of our team - WeAreCity and we are striving for excellence. We welcome enthusiastic teachers, whatever your experience. Will you join us? Are you a design technology enthusiast ready to inspire the next generation? Do you dream of a career where you can truly make a difference? We are looking for an energetic, enthusiastic and inspiring classroom practitioner with a real passion for design technology. We offer an exciting opportunity to join a supportive and motivated team and you must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of ‘students first’. Applications are invited from both newly qualified and experienced professionals from any of the following subject disciplines: food, resistant materials or graphics.

The department is a great place to start your career as a teacher as well as somewhere where more experienced staff can thrive. The department is well resourced with subject specific equipment. There are two resistant material classrooms and two food and catering classrooms. Every classroom has a visualiser and these are used extensively by the team in frequent and highly effective episodes of guided practice to develop strong procedural knowledge and confidence for independent and deliberate practice. There is a substantial departmental office and the department is supported by two technicians (resistant materials and food). We have a strong whole school literacy strategy that aims to ensure that all students can gain the educational and personal benefits of reading and subject specific tier 3 vocabulary. The department is passionate about students developing their subject disciplinary vocabulary and gives plentiful opportunities for them to do so. This is supporting writing confidence and competence, as well as arming students with exceptional speaking and listening skills. The design and technology curriculum is built with the end in mind and the KS3 curriculum prepares students for the KS4 qualifications of WJEC Hospitality and Catering (vocational) and AQA design technology. These programmes of study are fully resourced with high quality materials.
