Subject Leader for Art and Design job summary

Do you have the necessary skills and attributes to become an integral part of our community? Would you like to work in a welcoming and vibrant rural school? If you have the relevant skills, you could join a friendly staff dedicated to providing an outstanding educational experience. Uplands is a school committed to staff development, where individual needs are supported through a variety of development opportunities.

The faculty consists of two teachers with a small number of additional hours taught by a part-time member of staff. There is also collaboration with the design and technology department. In addition, the art department have supported the music and drama teachers to produce a high-quality annual school production. In 2022 we staged ‘The Addams Family’ in our brand-new Emma Watson Theatre. The faculty has good accommodation and benefits from a new kiln and a part-time art technician.

The successful applicant will need to be able to demonstrate resilience, motivation, and commitment, acting as a role model for students. A genuine passion for learning and belief in every student is essential.

There is a commitment to planning engaging and purposeful lessons with clear modelling in order for students to gain the knowledge they need to make the next steps.
