Would you be interested in working at an Academy that offers unique links to UCL and an innovative connected curriculum and collaborative approach for all students?
We are seeking to appoint a motivated and ambitious Lead Teacher of Food Technology to join our Academy. This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic and inspirational teacher who is passionate about Food Technology. If you are someone with passion, expertise and vision we offer an opportunity to work in partnership with one of the world's leading universities at a ground-breaking school.

The UCL Academy is sponsored by UCL, a world-class, multi-faculty, research-led university. UCL\'s vision is an innovative Academy for pupils aged 11 to 18. We are a comprehensive, co-educational, non-denominational, fully inclusive and an active member of the Camden family of schools.

Food Preparation and Nutrition forms part of the Engineering and Performance Faculties and works very closely with the Music, Drama and Art subject areas. We are proud of the amazing results that Food Preparation and Nutrition achieves at GCSE, where it is a popular choice currently with two GCSE groups in both Year 10 and Year 11. The Food Department benefits from a high quality teaching space and a supportive full-time Food Technician. We also run a popular SDL programme for KS3 students who greatly enjoy cooking outside of the curriculum. Trips and visits are actively encouraged at the Academy and Food trips thus far have included visiting Borough Market.

Working with our Sponsor, University College London, we have built an inspiring Academy which supports young people to develop as learners, and as 'whole people'. The UCL Academy is an exciting, stimulating place to learn, with a curriculum which focuses on problem-solving, skills development and 'real world' issues. Our core aim is to provide the highest quality teaching in a first-rate learning environment, encouraging all students to be happy and to strive to be the very best.
