Closing date: 12pm Monday 22nd April 2024 with the provision of interviewing before if there is an exceptional candidate.

Christ Church Secondary Academy opened in September 2021, welcoming the first cohort of students into year 7 and is growing year on year into a 11 – 18 Church of England academy.   The vision is for all to flourish together within a Church School community.  We are one community: students, parents and carers, staff and governors learning together and serving the community of Yardley Wood and beyond.   At Christ Church we aim to provide an exceptional education, supported by excellent pastoral care with an insistence on securing the highest standards in everything we do.

We value each student as an individual, recognising their different talents and needs, and in working together we aspire for each one to be courageous, confident, and successful in all they do.  

 We are looking for an ambitious, passionate and experienced Leader of Design and Technology and Art.  This is a pivotal and exciting time as the school looks to start teaching key stage 4 in September 2024 with the opportunity to be innovative and creative in setting up the programme of study whilst securing the key stage 3 curriculum.   As a new build, we have state of the art facilities to facilitate the outstanding learning in these subjects. We are seeking to appoint a middle leader who will be inspired by the Christian vision of Christ Church Secondary Academy and will want to be actively part of the journey as we grow into a fully open school by 2028. 

Applications should be made electronically by completing our online application form through My New Term.  All completed applications must be submitted by midday on Monday 22nd April  2024.   The academy reserves the right to close the position before the closing date if there is a strong field of applicants.

Interviews will be arranged for the week beginning 29th April 2024.
