Teacher of Design and Technology

Welcome from the Headteacher

Thank you for your interest in the post of Design and Technology Teacher at Chauncy School.

We are looking to recruit a qualified Design and Technology teacher. Chauncy is an Ofsted OUTSTANDING SCHOOL in all 5 categories and has a welcoming, cohesive, and dynamic staff committed to educating young people in the local area. It is an amazing place to work and build a career.

The Chauncy Art, Design and Technology Department is well established with a healthy mix of experienced and more recently qualified colleagues, with a proud history of strong academic results over many years.

All of our work is focused on promoting student achievement. We are the Ware School, and the majority of students live within 3 km of Chauncy. We are committed to the safety, happiness and success of the students and staff. Most teachers appointed during the last 10 years have trained with us. There is a consistency of approach, particularly in teaching and learning.

Chauncy School is in an extremely strong position. It is financially secure, academically successful, fully staffed by highly motivated specialists and populated by young people who appreciate that staff dedicate their working lives to their success. That Chauncy has received consecutive Ofsted Outstanding grades is unusual for a school that actively welcomes students of all abilities.

We have an experienced mentoring team to support Early Career Teachers, and new colleagues typically thrive with us, with 90% gaining a position of responsibility within 2 years. Suitably qualified and experienced applicants may be considered for a TLR award (TLR2a / TLR2b), with details to be negotiated at interview.

Visits are very much encouraged. If you are interested and would like to visit, please contact me via admin@chauncy.org.uk, or call via the school telephone number: 01920 411200. You may also take this opportunity to have an informal phone conversation about the position.

I look forward to receiving your application.
