The Role

Higham Lane School is delighted to welcome applications for the post of Teacher of Design & Technology.

Higham Lane is a large, 11-18 comprehensive academy with Aspiring Teaching School status, set on an attractive site on the Warwickshire-Leicestershire border, easily accessible due to excellent road, rail and bus connections. Achievement in all its forms: artistic, academic, social, cultural, sporting and intellectual is equally valued in our diverse five year, knowledge-rich curriculum. The School was judged as Outstanding by Ofsted in May 2019. We are enormously proud to have performed in the top 15% (yes that’s top 15%!) of schools in England for student progress at GCSE in 2018. (The 2019 figures are still awaited). We are also delighted to have achieved impressive A level results in our high-performing Sixth Form. Our progress figures indicate that our teaching and learning and student behaviour and engagement are excellent!

WHY WORK FOR HIGHAM LANE SCHOOL?

  • we empower teachers to teach and students to learn! Students’ behaviour is excellent.
  • our SLT and Progress Leaders regularly visit lessons, support teachers and uphold our ethos.
  • we are committed to reducing teacher workload by always looking to streamline our ways of working, for example, by making greater use of whole-class feedback, rather than pointlessly marking excessively.
  • staff wellbeing is very important to us. We care about each other.
  • we ensure a work-life balance in the way we organise our meetings and INSET days and ensure emails are used sparingly.
  • we support staff to look after themselves, for example through our health awareness events.
  • our regular CPD is second to none and highly-regarded by our staff.
  • we provide bespoke career stage training such as NPQSL, NPQML and NPQH as well as OLEVI programmes for improving and outstanding teachers.
  • we are actively leading school-to-school support within our local area.
  • we get on well together and celebrate our many achievements in a range of social events!
