Food & Nutrition Teacher in London

Lilian Baylis Technology School is a mixed, 11-18, inner city school located in a new building at Vauxhall, London. We are a multicultural community school, which serves the local community, and we view this as one of our key strengths. We value the diversity of our school, and strive to ensure that our students feel represented, both at whole school level and within the curriculum.

In addition to this, we have great facilities for our students and teachers, including electronic whiteboards and visualisers in all rooms, as well as laptops for all staff. Teachers also have a consistent room base for all their lessons, enabling them to make it a celebration for their subject and students. Furthermore, the Food classroom has an extensive range of specialist equipment and resources for practical work, which is a very regular feature of the curriculum.

Our students are well behaved and ambitious, and they also value the school. All visitors to the school always comment on the calm and productive atmosphere of lessons. Our last OfSTED inspection stated we were ‘outstanding in all aspects’. Student progress at GCSE is excellent, and has been consistently so. In particular, we are highly effective at bridging the gaps between disadvantaged students and non-disadvantaged students. We run an extensive intervention programme, at Key Stage 3, which means students who have low prior attainment are able to work on “catching-up” with their peers.

Food & Nutrition is a popular subject and LBTS is committed to ensuring students have an enriching curriculum experience. There are many links to local businesses and students often take advantage of trips and other experiences. In addition, we run a half termly “Creative Project Day” where one group of key stage 3 students get to spend a day off timetable, completing a project in Food.

We are looking for a well-qualified and enthusiastic colleague to join our Vocational Education team as the Subject Teacher for Food & Nutrition. The successful candidate will plan and teach the Food & Nutrition curriculum at key stages 3 & 4, supported by the Subject Leader for DT & Food. This is an exciting opportunity for both a teacher who is at the beginning of their career, or a teacher who is more established and looking for a fresh challenge. We offer a highly supportive and committed working environment within a culture of success. Our CPD provision is extensive and follows a research driven approach, which means that our teachers are at the leading edge of professional practice.
