We are an outstanding grammar school, for children of all genders, with outstanding provision for our young people. Our Vision is to pioneer a grammar school education which equips the visionaries of tomorrow.
Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School is seeking to employ a subject leader of art to join our Design Faculty, and enhance our provision further. This is an excellent opportunity to join a hard-working and ambitious team, who aim to provide all students with access to outstanding creative opportunities across a range of subjects.

Our students are keen to learn and challenge themselves, with many going on to art and design related degree courses, or apprenticeships upon leaving school. You will be flexible, positive in your approach, and able to work as part of a dynamic team. You will line manage one other teacher of art and a non-teaching technician. You will be willing to participate fully in a busy and successful school.
