Since September 2023, Kenilworth School and Sixth Form has been based in a purpose-built, state-of-the-art campus on Glasshouse Lane, offering staff and students an exceptional modern and prestigious environment for teaching and learning.

All classrooms are fully equipped with large interactive TV screens. Ofsted rated the school as Outstanding in November 2023, maintaining our rating from 2013. The school is well resourced to support the delivery of the subject.

The post holder will join a supportive team with opportunities for professional development. Our educational ethos encourages our students to be responsive, resilient, to have reasoning, be reflective and resourceful in their learning.

The Department consists of seven teachers and is well supported by two dedicated Technology Technicians.

The Role: As a Teacher of Technology, you will join a focussed, forward-thinking department. The successful applicant should be aspirational, innovative and have a genuine engaging enthusiasm for the teaching and learning of Technology.
