Warlingham School & Sixth Form College

Warlingham School is different - and our Design and Technology department is something we are genuinely proud of.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a team of talented, creative and hugely experienced teachers who love what they do. Between us, we offer an incredible breadth of specialisms - Product Design, Textiles and Food Technology - making Design and Technology at Warlingham one of the most vibrant and diverse departments you will find.

Our curriculum gives students the chance to explore design from every angle, and our staff the freedom to teach with passion. We have a large student uptake at both GCSE and A level and constantly achieve amazing results with outstanding value added; but what really makes Warlingham unique is the people.

• A staffroom where wellbeing is not a buzzword but a lived reality.
• A team who will have your back, share ideas, and bring a wealth of knowledge to the table.
• A school community where you will be trusted, supported, and valued as a professional.

We are looking for someone who wants to shape the future of Design and Technology at our school, inspire both students and colleagues, and bring their own creativity and leadership style into the mix.

If you are ready to step up, make your mark, and join a school that genuinely puts staff happiness and collaboration first - we would love to hear from you.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries. We look forward to receiving your application and welcoming you to our school.

Please note that applications will be considered upon receipt. Early applications are encouraged as we reserve the right to close the recruitment process once a suitable candidate is appointed.
