Patrick Sarpong

With over 15 years of experience in secondary education, I have established myself as an adept Design and Technology teacher. My journey has been marked by a passion for inspiring learners and equipping subject professionals, which has evolved into a comprehensive understanding of the subject and its pedagogical demands.

In my various leadership roles, most recently the Head of Design, Technology & Engineering at The Henrietta Barnett School, I have facilitated the delivery of high-quality education. My proficiency in NEA content and meticulous, strategic approach to teaching have been instrumental in this.

My tenure at Oakwood Park Grammar School, Colfeā€™s School, and Mossbourne Academy allowed me to engage with a diverse student body, adapting my teaching methods to cater to different learning styles and needs. This experience has further broadened my teaching repertoire and reinforced my commitment to academic excellence.

With a track record of accomplishments, including achieving exemplary GCSE and A-level results and mentoring students to prestigious Arkwright Scholarships. These achievements stand as a testament to my ability to inspire learners and equip other D&T professionals.

I offer consultancy services to D&T professionals, departments, and schools. Providing practical strategies rooted in my extensive experience and proven success across all key stages, I am committed to fostering an environment of academic excellence and holistic growth, where both educators and students can flourish.

Partnering with me offers access to a reservoir of knowledge enriched by hands-on experience, innovative teaching methodologies, and a track record of academic excellence. I look forward to contributing to your journey in Design and Technology education. I am passionate about setting up a clear strategic vision for schools and their pupils, developing them into thriving individuals in a highly popular subject. I am keen to hear from schools who need support to achieve their key objectives and long-term goals for Design and Technology.
