Crynodeb
Glebelands School is seeking to appoint a Teacher of Textiles within Design & Technology, to join us for September 2026. We are looking for a practitioner who has the passion, and skill, to deliver high-quality DT Textiles and Art Textiles to our students. You will be joining a department that consistently places in the top 20% of schools for student progress and attainment in DT and one that has consistently delivered a subject progress score of around +1.
You would be joining a high skilled and experienced team. Therefore, this role would be suitable for both ECT’s and experienced teachers. We have a strong team ethos and believe in working collaboratively, sharing ideas and supporting each other to achieve great things and see this as the key to further developing high quality education for our students.
Job Purpose:
• To deliver high quality DT Textiles and Art Textiles lessons. The department currently teach their specialisms at both KS3 and KS4 but there might be a need to teach a small number of lessons within other areas of Design and Technology.
Vision Statement
Design and Technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. Using creativity and imagination, students design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. They acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw upon disciplines such as Mathematics, Science, Engineering, Computing and Art. Students learn how to take risks, becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. Through the evaluation of past and present Design and Technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and a wider world. High - quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation. We are keen to let students enjoy the practical nature of Design and Technology whilst the knowledge based learning is key to helping students to become higher-level learners. We strive to equip students with the skills and qualifications to go on and become the next generation of creative practitioners in their chosen field. Our mission is to build confidence and encourage students to take ownership of their work and to develop their thinking into creative ideas. We are a cohesive department, linked between subjects, which offer students a holistic experience of the design process from sketch to final outcome.
We offer a broad curriculum at both Key Stage 3 and 4. Students are taught to problem solve and be independent learners through a range of projects which build on their skills learnt in previous years. Students should have opportunities to build their cultural capital outside of the classroom; therefore, we offer extra-curricular opportunities such as robotics competitions and Textiles club as well as various trips throughout the year. Students who leave Glebelands having studied Design and Technology at Key Stage 4 will be independent learners, with a drive to solve real world problems. They will have a broad experience of materials to work with as well as the theory knowledge to back it up. They will be students who rise to challenges and enjoy working as part of a team.
Key Accountabilities
To inspire a love of Design & Technology
To assess the performance of students and record their development, progress and attainment, using this to plan for future learning
To implement school policies and practices
To set tasks for whole class, individual and group work, (including homework) which set appropriate and challenging expectations for students' learning, motivation and presentation of work
To provide clear structures for lessons, and for sequences of lessons, in the short, medium and longer term, which maintain pace, motivation and challenge
To plan effectively to ensure that students have the opportunity to meet their potential, taking account of the needs from those who are underachieving to those who are very able, making use of relevant information and specialist help where available
To assess, record and report on the development and progress and attainment of students
To set high expectations of student behaviour; establishing and maintaining a good standard of discipline through well-focused teaching and positive, productive relationships
To contribute to the rich and varied extra-curricular programme
To establish a safe environment that supports learning and where students feel secure and confident
To critically evaluate own teaching for ongoing effectiveness and improvement; keeping up-to-date with subject development and to take part in relevant professional development for this purpose, disseminating to other staff where appropriate
To attend subject and information evenings
To attend and support whole-school functions
To promote and safeguard the welfare of children and young people
To be responsible for the pastoral care of students in your care
To be a form tutor
To share in the corporate responsibility of the pastoral care, well-being and discipline of all students
To be ready and enthusiastically available to parents, displaying approachability and professionalism at all times
To cover for absent colleagues
To comply with, and adhere to, agreed whole school policies and the ethos of the school
To carry out any other duties that may reasonably be required
See school website for D&T brochure and application form
