We seek a committed teacher of Design Technology/Engineering who is enthusiastic, creative and has high expectations of all students.

However, our successful bid to the Department for Education’s Schools Rebuilding Programme means that we will soon have the facilities to deliver a wider technology curriculum which could include Product Design, Resistant Materials or Engineering. The successful candidate will therefore be part of an exciting journey for the subject in our school and will have significant input into shaping the curriculum.

The successful candidate will deliver OCR Nationals Level 2 in Engineering Design to KS4 students. Year 11 students in 2025-26 will be the first cohort to complete this qualification. There is also a Year 10 class – take up for the subject has been strong as students are excited by and enjoying the course. You will also teach Design Technology/Engineering Design to all KS3 students. There may be a requirement to teach some KS3 Art initially, as the number of students taking the subject grows.

Polam Hall Senior School has a collegiate and collaborative faculty structure and the development of this new subject will be supported and led by experienced staff. We have had significant improvement in outcomes for students in recent years and are looking to add strength and diversity to our KS4 offer. The brand-new facilities provided by the Schools Rebuilding Programme will be state of the art, offering a genuinely exciting career opportunity to either suitably qualified Early Career Teachers or those with teaching experience.

Stokenham Explorers first opened its doors in February this year. A before and after school club which started as an idea of one local school Mum and has developed, with the support of Stokenham Area Primary school, in Kingsbridge and Devon County Council into a much needed and successful enterprise.

When Caroline Baldwin and her family first relocated to the South Hams in August 2024, one of the main barriers for her and her husband Mark to securing a job was the lack of available before and after school childcare in and around the region.

The national wraparound childcare programme which was introduced in 2024 has meant that Caroline was able to change this, ensuring her own job security, employing two other members of staff and providing essential childcare for working parents. In feedback about the provision, Stokenham parents described it as ‘a complete gamechanger’ making ‘juggling work and home life so much easier,’ ‘significantly reducing the stress of trying to fit work in around school hours’ and meaning that parents ‘can spend more quality time’ with their children.

A free child place at the setting is available per full shift worked*.

Executive Head Teacher, Tessa Coulthard recognised the need for this care across the school federation and so the Malborough Explorers are the next venture to be run by Caroline and her team. Malborough Explorers, based at Malborough with South Huish C of E Primary School in Kingsbridge, are currently recruiting staff to manage and grow this crucial and exciting wraparound provision- any interested candidates should see the job advertisements on the front cover of this issue.

About Chellow Heights Chellow Heights school is a large special school which is located on two separate sites. Both sites offer exceptional learning environments for our pupils which enhance their learning and quality of life experiences.

These include an outstanding outdoor provision, multi‐sensory rooms, soft play, food technology rooms and our ‘engine’ rooms which are used to support our pupils with their sensory processing.

The Mallard Academy, joined the Trust on 1st January 2025 and has a clear vision “to inspire pupils to surpass expectations and lead with purpose, driven by a legacy of excellence, innovation, and determination”. Rooted in the motto, On Track to Exceed, the academy serves 350 pupils and is working hard to instil pride in creating an environment where every child is supported and challenged to reach their full potential.

Our West Site is the larger provision and in addition to the resources highlighted above, also boasts a multi‐sensory hydrotherapy pool, rebound therapy room, music therapy room and jungle gym (soft play room).

Our South Site is a much smaller provision in terms of the size of building yet capitalises brilliantly on the large outdoor space available.

Our mission statement ‘ Enjoy, achieve, excel, excite, one vision, one community, new heights ’encapsulates our purpose. We believe that children learn best when they are having fun and enjoy what they do.

Although located on two separate sites (South & West), we are very much one community with one vision to provide a personalised education to our pupils.
