Advert

The Design and Technology team currently consists of a Head of Department; two full time specialist teachers of Design and Technology, two part time Food and Nutrition teachers and two full time technicians. There is a supportive and collaborative ethos within the department and we are always open to new ideas. We regularly reflect on our delivery to ensure our students gain the best experience and aim to enthuse creative problem solving. Weald of Kent students are driven, inquisitive and committed to learning. Our results at both GCSE and A Level are excellent and we frequently outperform other schools in our specialist areas. Food and Nutrition has achieved exceptional results over a number of years and is a popular subject at Key Stage 4. 
 
At Key Stage 3 students develop a broad framework of skills and knowledge across a wide range of Design and Technology disciplines. This provides a strong foundation which enables students to make an informed choice to specialise in one discipline at GCSE. At present, in Key Stage 4, we follow the AQA Syllabus and offer full GCSE courses in Food and Nutrition, and Design and Technology. In addition we have a thriving A-Level group.
 

As an ‘Investors in People’ school we are committed to staff development and offer the opportunity for excellent professional development in order to prepare for future career progression.

The Governing Body is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  An Enhanced DBS check will be carried out for the successful candidate.
