DT Teacher

We are proud that Outwood Academy Portland is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. We are an 11-18 academy based in the large friendly town of Worksop, near Sheffield and Nottingham.

Since joining the Outwood Family in 2012, our students have achieved impressive exam result success.

We have created an educational environment where staff and students constantly strive to improve; where teachers sharpen their skills and expand their repertoires to deliver an outstanding learning experience; and where teachers, classroom assistants, mentors, tutors, inclusion support assistants and students operate as a seamless team. This enables everybody, staff and students, to not only see but also help fulfil the potential in each other. Following its latest visit, Ofsted noted that our ‘teachers and support staff comment positively about the opportunities they have for regular training to develop their skills.’

We believe our success speaks for itself as we are above the national average for the number of students achieving at a Grade 5 or above in English & maths GCSEs. We are also proud to have been awarded Bronze Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.

We work hard to ensure we reduce workload on staff, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of students first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice. 

We look to inspire students to be aspirational young people. We are open, friendly and welcoming with great students and a team of very dedicated, talented staff.

Currently the school offers Engineering, Hospitality and Catering and Electronics qualifications at Key Stage 4. From September 2024 we are also offering a GCSE option in Design and Technology. We are looking for a candidate who is confident to offer all or some of the subjects above at KS4 as well as being able to deliver our KS3 curriculum.

Purpose of the job:

· To implement and deliver an appropriately broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated curriculum for students and to support a designated subject area as appropriate.

· To monitor and support the overall progress and development of students as a teacher.

· To facilitate and encourage a learning experience which provides students with the opportunity to achieve their individual potential.

· To contribute to raising standards of student attainment and outcomes.
