Further details about the role
Our design curriculum is rooted in high expectations of all students, with a focus on providing a diverse range of rich and interesting projects which will allow students to express themselves, whilst consistently embedding the core knowledge that makes students the artists, engineers and Michelin Star chefs of the future. Our building is fantastically well apportioned; no design lessons take place outside of bespoke practical spaces, which include two large product design rooms, two catering rooms, our dark room for photography and kiln room for pottery. We believe strongly in providing a full KS3 experience to all of our young people, so the design curriculum remains broad until the end of Year 9, when students begin their KS4 options. As a result of the experience that students have in KS3, design is the most popular KS4 curriculum area, with multiple options classes running in almost every discipline. We work closely with the other Futura secondary schools to develop our shared curriculum, to share the best resources and to identify the best teaching practice and share this pedagogical knowledge between schools. We have a strong belief in the power of high-quality teaching and learning to change the lives of our students and we have developed highly effective lesson structures and pedagogical approaches which drive progress in every lesson.
We operate a ‘Ready to Learn’ behaviour system in the school. Our consistent approach to behavior management ensures that any low-level disruption is dealt with rapidly and effectively. Our senior and pastoral teams manage the rare incidents of highly challenging behavior and permanently staff the behavior support rooms. This means that, as a teacher at Bedminster Down School, you have the ability to spend your work time on planning and delivering lessons which will maximize engagement and progress, as well as providing high quality feedback to your students.
Futura Learning Partnership is a partnership of schools spanning the Southwest of England that are working together to provide a high-quality educational experience for all students in their care and be a truly inclusive provider of 4-19 education in the area.
