What skills and experience we're looking for

Our aim is to provide an outstanding all-round educational experience and we are committed to the success and excellence for all our students. In June 2023 we were inspected by OFSTED and judged to be a strongly ‘good’ school with ‘outstanding’ personal development. We are enjoying the next stage of our journey (to become outstanding in all areas!) and continue to receive incredible feedback about our child centred approach; our leaders share our best practice through extensive outreach work across the city and beyond.

We would like to appoint a committed, energetic, and enthusiastic Teacher of Art and Design, who will join a strong Art and Design Technology Department at an exciting stage in its development. This role would suit an ECT.

It is expected that the successful candidate will have the drive to inspire students to achieve the best possible results and be a good communicator, able to interact effectively with a wide and diverse group of people. Applicants should demonstrate a well thought out philosophy of education which reflects the needs of all learners and to play a full part in the life of the school community, to support its distinctive mission and ethos and to encourage and ensure staff and students follow this example.

Most importantly, as far as personal characteristics are concerned, we would like to find someone with warmth, enthusiasm, flexibility, and an unrelenting commitment to the success of every child. Last, but by no means least, a sense of humour is essential!

What the school offers its staff

Trafalgar School is a very special community where relationships are at the core of everything we do. We are continually striving for excellence in all aspects of what we do as we fulfil our moto; “Learning today, leading tomorrow”. Being part of #teamtrafalgaris a privilege.

This is a very exciting opportunity to join the Art and Design Technology Department at Trafalgar School. You would be working alongside our experienced Director of Art and Design, Second in Art and Design, Curriculum Enrichment Lead, and dedicated team of teachers.

Trafalgar School is a beacon school for Relational Practice in the south which means we put the building, maintaining, and restoring of relationships with all members of our community at the heart of everything we do. It is essential that the post holder shares our school ethos which is firmly rooted in this restorative practice approach. We work restoratively with students, families and with each other to maintain the strong community culture and our very strong inclusive ethos.

‘Relationships are highly positive because staff take time to understand and remove barriers to pupils’ learning’.
