What the school offers its staff

Situated in Tunbridge Wells, with excellent transport links to London, Bennett is a popular and over-subscribed academy with an enviable record of outstanding academic achievement over many years.

A Church of England co-educational school with independent academy status

• 1,903 on roll including 400 in the Sixth Form
• Judged Outstanding in every area by Ofsted in 2023
• World Class School Quality Mark in 2021
• Outstanding GCSE and A Level results
• Excellent reputation; oversubscribed

Bennett students are highly motivated and enthusiastic about learning and taking part in the huge range of enrichment activities that we offer.

Further details about the role

The Bennett Science Department is an exciting and dynamic context in which to work. Science has a central place in our curriculum, alongside Mathematics and English, at all stages and for all students. Our vision for the subject is for it to contribute even more fully to the academic development of all our students and for their preparation for life, work and study in the modern world.

This commitment is realised in a number of ways. Science is taught to all students in Years 7 to 9. Following a review of the science curriculum, all students from Year 7 to 9 follow a mastery curriculum with a carefully planned progression through the three separate sciences. All science teachers are involved in teaching KS3 science. In order to ensure that non – specialist teachers are able to deliver the KS3 sciences effectively, the Heads of Biology, Chemistry and Physics, along with the Head of Science, have a pivotal role in developing challenging schemes of work and leading professional development about subject specific pedagogy.

From Year 10 onwards, the vast majority of students follow courses in the three separate sciences, securing accreditation in each of them at GCSE. We believe that this is the ideal springboard for further scientific study at A level. This specialist approach means that the Heads of Biology, Chemistry and Physics play a critical role in leading teaching, both in terms of modelling practice and securing the highest standards of teaching in their teams.

There are very strong, and increasing, numbers of students taking natural sciences to A Level, it is typical for the school to have at least two groups in each science.

Facilities for science teaching are good, with full support from a very effective technician team. All laboratories have interactive whiteboards and fully networked computer access.

The school’s examination outcomes speak for themselves, and we suggest that prospective applicants are familiar with the school’s profile in recent examination results by reading the information available on and through the school’s website. These achievements have been secured because of our uncompromising stance on aspiration, and our rejection of limiting or self-limiting attitudes. We expect the person appointed to be a teacher who shares this approach, believes in high standards for all, and is committed to the unique importance of rigorously taught science in the education of all young people in today’s world.

Alongside high aspiration for all, Bennett’s results are achieved through outstanding teaching. The school has high expectations of its teaching staff, they work hard and are committed and focussed; teaching is very strong across the school.

Bennett is strongly committed to developing teachers professionally, and believes that all staff should have an active and positive role to play in the development of policy and practice. This generates great enthusiasm and a strong sense of teamwork. As the designated Teaching School Hub for Kent we offer a wide range of professional development opportunities both within Bennett and across the county. This professional development offer covers the full suite of National Professional Qualifications as well as the Early Career Framework for teachers. We work in partnership with the Ambition Institute to provide exceptionally strong courses with high fidelity to the national frameworks.

Bennett is a Church of England school, and it is expected that all staff support the school’s distinctive ethos in their professional role.

Lower School Technology

As students start the school, we introduce students to some new and some familiar materials, techniques and equipment. Across the whole of Year 7 we visit the different stages of the design process, exposing students to situations which will develop their understanding of the stages and developing creativity and resilience. Students rotate through a carousel of Food Preparation and Nutrition, Textiles and Product Design in both Year 7 and Year 8. The core of every material area is the design process which develops skills in:

• Generation, development and communication of ideas
• Creative response and problem solving of briefs and tasks
• Applying knowledge and understanding of materials and processes
• Reflection and evaluation of own designing

Students in Year 8 revisit the three areas of Design Technology. Within the schemes of work, students have the opportunity to revisit parts of the design process in order to reflect on prior learning and develop independence and resilience to make progression. Students use their learning of materials, techniques and equipment to make design decisions that are enriched by a wide range of research techniques that support the students to work creatively. By the end of Year 8 students will have a portfolio of design solutions that will evidence their analytical, theoretical and practical capabilities within the context of design, as well as prepare them for their studies across all subjects.

Upper School

Year 9

Students visit each area of Design Technology (Food Preparation and Nutrition, Textiles and Design Technology) Student sample the GCSE in each of those areas so that they can make informed option choices. Students have the opportunity to experience the learning concepts and skills that transition into each of the GCSE courses that we offer in years 10 & 11. The curriculum offers students a snapshot of what to expect in each of the GCSEs as well as developing higher level practical skills and learning.

Years 10 and 11

The department offers courses in:

Design and Technology- Using iterative design to create systems, products and services that fulfill user needs whilst considering sustainability, ergonomics and manufacture. The students complete design briefs that respond to real world issues through research, analysis and product development.

Textiles Design – Students use inspiration to design and develop a portfolio demonstrating a range of complex skills that they then use to inform the design and manufacture of a textiles outcomes. Students create a sketch book that enables them to present their design journey developing their reflective and analytical skills. Students learn how to develop an idea through using research and testing.

Food Preparation and Nutrition – Students learn a range of skills and techniques to create food products. Students learn about food safety, nutrition and complex techniques. Students carry out a large number of practical activities that enable them to refine their skills as well as their understanding of the science behind the ingredients.

All of these courses are underpinned by the same generic process of designing but the material areas create different challenges that give the opportunity to be creative, innovative and develop design solutions. There is a huge emphasis on problem solving and recognising the moral, social, cultural and environmental issues within design, as a product can, in reality, have both a positive and negative effect on our society.

In carrying out projects, students will develop planning and presentation skills. Using a variety of media, including ICT, students will produce a portfolio of work that will demonstrate their ability to communicate in a variety of ways.

Assessment for all of these courses is listed below:

Textiles - Unit 1-Portfolio of work- 60%, Unit 2- Externally set task- 40%

Design and Technology - 50% coursework portfolio,50% written examination

Food preparation and Nutrition- NEA 1 and 2- 50% and a written examination- 50%

Success in any of the design courses will provide an opportunity for further study at A Level.

Sixth Form

The Department offers courses in A Level Textiles Design, and A level Design & Technology.

Both these courses encourage students to better understand the visual world and provide opportunities to develop a visual language and explore design outcomes.

A Level – Textiles

Students become more aware and confident when making aesthetic judgements and develop their skills to become independent, autonomous artists and designers.

The course is split into 2 components:

• The portfolio unit; personal investigation
• The externally set assignment.

Each unit encourages creativity through project work, which is defined by a collection of work in response to an idea and use of a theme. Students experience a range of material techniques.

Many of our students go on to study Art and Design in further and higher education institutions.

A Level – Design and Technology: Product Design

This course provides students with an opportunity to work creatively to solve problems. It is a balance of theoretical knowledge and practical skills and enables students to work with confidence when faced with challenges.

Students investigate social, cultural, environmental and economic influences on design and technology and can put their skills to practice whilst undertaking a range of practical projects.

The course is split into 3 components:

• Examination paper 1 – assesses technical principles
• Examination paper 2 – assesses design and making principles
• NEA (Non-exam assessment) – assesses practical application of technical, designing and making principles

There are strong links with Mathematics and Science based subjects and a good understanding of these subjects will be essential for studying this subject at A Level.

This course links to several different careers and many students who study this course go on to undertake degrees in subjects like, among many others; Architecture, Product Design, Engineering etc.
