About the job

“Design is thinking made visual.” – Saul Bass

A thriving Secondary school in London is looking for a design and technology graduate who specialises in resistant materials. You will need to be very vigilant for obvious reasons, you will be helping children learn the craft of carpentry while working with plastic and metal from time to time. But this is your chance to help students realise their potential of using their hands to create pieces of art, as well as help them recognise the importance of design in everyday life. You will need patience, determination, compassion, and an eye for fine detail. If this sounds perfect to you, then we here at Grad2Teach are here to help you take the next step to become a teacher through our Salaried Teacher Training programme.

At the heart of this ‘Outstanding’ School is the belief that all students can be successful if they show real effort and determination to do their best. The success of thousands of former and current students stands as a testament to the sustained excellence which has placed the school in the top 1% nationally for pupil progress for the last five years. Every member of the team at this School is expected to ‘go the extra mile’ and push themselves to the limits of performance and it is seen as a key indicator of the school’s continued progression that when teachers leave, it tends to be to take on leadership roles elsewhere. The Head Teacher and Governors are proud of the low staff turnover rates at this school and believe these are driven by their consistent focus on CPD and internal promotion.
