Head of Food

We are seeking a dynamic, ambitious, and forward-thinking subject leader to join our thriving Food Department. The successful candidate will be passionate about inspiring both students and colleagues, and committed to driving excellence across both academic and vocational pathways.

You will be joining a high-performing team with a track record of outstanding outcomes. Demand for GCSE Food Preparation & Nutrition has increased by over 50%. We currently run two GCSE groups in Year 10 and two in Year 11, and from September this will expand to three groups in Year 10, reflecting the continued strength and popularity of the subject. We are also keen to hear the successful applicant’s thoughts on the potential development of a food-related course at Key Stage 5 and how this could further enhance our curriculum offer.

The department benefits from excellent facilities, including fully equipped catering spaces that support high‑quality practical teaching and innovative curriculum design.

Food lessons are exceptionally well supported by a dedicated Technology Technician, whose number one priority is ensuring that all Food lessons run smoothly and efficiently. This provides the ideal foundation for a leader who is ready to build on our success and continue expanding the department’s reach and impact.
