Barton Court Academy Trust (BCAT) is a multi-academy Trust which was established in 2017. It currently consists of three secondary schools: Barton Court Grammar School, The Charles Dickens School, and Barton Manor Free School.
Barton Manor School is a non-selective 11-18 school located in Canterbury, a 5 minute walk from Barton Court Grammar School. The School is in its fourth year of opening, with students in Y7, Y8, Y9 and Y10 only. We have a vision and a determination to provide our community with an excellent school and we are making great strides towards this.
To work here is to embrace the challenges of an economically-diverse community and understand the influence education has in addressing social immobility. We’re looking for brilliant people to join us on our exciting journey with opportunities for staff to work and teach at both Barton Court and Barton Manor.
The School has excellent facilities, equipped with state-of-the-art electronic interactive whiteboards and specialist facilities for sport, hospitality, engineering, dance, drama, music and art. Our significant investment in professional development drives colleagues’ continuous improvement.
Required for January 2027, the Trustees are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, experienced Food Technology and Health and Social Care teacher to lead the department. The ability to teach both Food and Health and Social at KS4 is essential. Both subjects are popular within the school/Trust.
The successful candidate will be joining a team of highly experienced DT, Food and Health and Social Care teachers across the School/Trust. They should be able to deliver excellence in the classroom, providing innovative and inspirational teaching and learning.
This post is suitable for an experienced professional looking to further their expertise. A commitment to staff welfare and promoting BCAT core values is at the heart of this role.
Deadline: Friday 18 September 2026 at 9am. Early applications are encouraged and we retain the right to fill the vacancy before the deadline date.
