About the role:
Nestled in Barnard Castle in the spectacular Teesdale countryside and imprinted with the historic values of the Dales and our close-knit community, Teesdale School is a place where traditional values of kindness, respect and hard work take precedence. Within 30 minutes of both Darlington and Durham and just over an hour from York and Newcastle, our idyllic yet convenient location affords our staff an enviable quality of life.
We have 628 children across Key Stages 3 and 4 and post-16. Our small size means that as a teacher here you can really get to know your students; know who they are; their aspirations, ideas, talents and dreams, bringing out the best in them and helping to champion their ambitions and give them a great start in life.
Ofsted recently rated our school as ‘Outstanding’ and we are looking to appoint an excellent Teacher of Design and Technology who would like to work with and contribute to the development of highly motivated students.
Design and Technology is a rapidly growing subject area at Teesdale School with a high uptake at Key Stage 4 and more recently in our Sixth Form. We expect all of our students to be challenged and inspired and to achieve beyond expectation. You will be responsible for delivering outstanding lessons and contributing to the wider education agenda, inspiring learners and raising standards.
We would be delighted to hear from you if you are:
- An excellent teacher with an outstanding record.
- Collaborative, building strong professional relationships.
- Able to motivate and inspire students to achieve their full potential.
- Energetic and have a ‘can-do’ attitude.
- Someone who can have a measurable impact as an individual teacher and throughout the school.
- Interested in developing an outstanding and vibrant Design Technology Department.
