At Key Stage 4, Digital Arts students study a Level 2 Tech Award in Creative Media Production, where some learners will choose to specialise in Games Design and New Media in their second year for one of their modules.
You will be keen to explore the cutting-edge of industry practice with your learners, building relationships with our industry partners to ensure students access state-of-the-art technologies and learn the latest processes and workflows across a variety of new medias and genres. You will have a passion for collaboration and be committed to exploring the ways the Digital Arts experience can be enhanced by working with other curriculum areas within the academy. We are looking for an exceptional professional who will play a crucial role in shaping the core curriculum and specialist pathways of our vibrant institution.
You will have high expectations, be able to manage colleagues and work effectively as part of a team. You will be prepared to get fully involved in the life of our busy academy.
This is an excellent opportunity to make a difference to the future of education within a world-class academy.
