Wallingford School is an oversubscribed, successful 11-18 school with enthusiastic students, supportive staff and excellent facilities.

We are among the most successful schools in the country for progress in English and Maths. In 2023, 74% of our students achieved at least a grade 4 in English and Maths at GCSE and 31% of all grades achieved were at Grade 7 or above. Vocational grades were similarly impressive, 85% of entries gained at least a Level 2 Pass and 36% at a Distinction or Distinction*. At KS5, our A Level students are consistently in the top 25% nationally for Value Added progress. In our most recent results, 61% of all entries gained A*- B grades and 32% of all entries gained A*- A. In Vocational qualifications, 58% of all entries gained at least a Distinction, with 31% gaining a Distinction*.

These results are great but our school is about much more than just exams. We are an inclusive school which - as the only secondary school in the town - is determined to serve its local community well. Comprehensive school values are important to us. Students of all abilities thrive at Wallingford and we pride ourselves on giving students a chance who may not have had one at other schools.

This is a very happy and supportive environment, with great relationships throughout the school. We place an especially high value on the development of colleagues and have an extensive professional development programme. There are many opportunities for teachers to work collaboratively across the school.

The Curriculum Coordinator would work alongside the Curriculum Team Leader in building a curriculum and culture that will enable pupils to develop their understanding of what makes good design and confident in creating quality solutions to design problems.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate teacher who is committed to developing their leadership skills and supporting our students in achieving their best.

**THE DT TEAM**

The Design Technology rooms and workshops are grouped together in one main corridor which allows for a close and supportive working environment. The accommodation comprises of a Product Design room, two Resistant Materials workshops, a Textiles room, two Food rooms, an ICT suite, a materials preparation room and a purpose built Sixth Form room.

This post will offer the successful applicant the opportunity to contribute to the work of the department in a variety of ways and we are looking for someone who is able to offer their own ideas, work as part of a team and teach across the age range.

**KS3**

KS3 students are taught in mixed-ability groups. We all follow a rotation system in each year where students have approximately 8-10 weeks in Product Design/CAD, Food, Graphics, Resistant Materials and Textiles. We use pupil-friendly assessment objectives for all major pieces of work in KS3.
