The Food Technology provision is popular and well-established, with excellent kitchen facilities and a collaborative teaching team. The school is proud of its commitment to developing real-life skills through practical learning, and food is an essential part of that vision.

Your Key Responsibilities Will Include:

• Teaching Food Technology to Key Stage 3 and GCSE groups

• Planning lessons that promote nutrition, hygiene, sustainability, and creativity

• Supporting whole-school initiatives around healthy living and wellbeing

• Contributing to extracurricular provision such as cooking clubs and themed weeks
