Teacher of Art and Photography job summary
We have an exciting opportunity for a Teacher of Art and Photography to join our team at Chellaston Academy.
At Chellaston Academy, children are at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is to create mature, confident and successful global citizens who can thrive in an ever‑changing world, guided by our shared values of Integrity, Care and Excellence.
While strong academic outcomes matter, we believe success is defined by far more than examination results. We are committed to developing the whole person, nurturing qualities such as self‑confidence, self‑belief and self‑esteem, and recognising and celebrating individual talents.
Our students benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum, and we work closely with parents and carers to ensure that, when expectations are high and shared, every child can achieve great things. This includes promoting an excellent attitude centred on respect, high standards of appearance, good manners, full attendance and punctuality.
Why Us?
You’ll be joining us at a very exciting time. In January 2026, two strong Trusts, QEGSMAT and Djanogly Learning Trust, came together to form Tapestry Learning Partnership. This new chapter brings incredible opportunities for collaboration and growth. Tapestry’s vision is for every child to succeed and flourish by providing an exceptional educational experience.
We believe in the power of education to transform lives and are proud of our strong sense of community, our commitment to inclusion, and our culture of high expectations. As part of Tapestry Learning Partnership, you’ll benefit from:
A supportive network of like-minded professionals who share a clear vision and values.
High-quality, ongoing professional development for you and your team.
A passionate, committed wider team focused on:
Achieving the highest academic outcomes for all pupils.
Driving social change through education.
Providing exceptional pastoral care and enrichment opportunities.
Bespoke support from the Trust’s central team, tailored to your school’s needs.
Access to a range of employee benefits designed to promote health and wellbeing.
This is a fantastic opportunity to make a lasting impact in a school that is excited about its future.
For further information, please see the attached candidate pack. Visits to the academy are encouraged!

At Chellaston Academy, we believe that academic outcomes are important, and our expectation is that we will achieve national progress standards. However, we do not measure the success of our students by their examination results alone. We believe developing the whole person to be vitally important as well. Students access a balanced curriculum, and we continually strive to develop characteristics such as self-confidence, self-belief and self-esteem and make sure individual talent is recognised and nurtured.
We believe that when the school, parents/carers and students share high expectations every child will achieve great things. This includes having an excellent attitude centred on respect, high standards of appearance, good manners, full attendance and punctuality.
We believe that Chellaston Academy is a vibrant and successful school where all students thrive through our shared principles of Question, Explore, Give and Succeed.
Question – All students are given the opportunity to question who they are and why they want to be; to question their understanding and their actions. They learn how to question in a considered way, and then to listen to the response.
Explore – At Chellaston we give students opportunities and experiences, both in and beyond the classroom, educating the whole child and afforded them, looking for new ways to accomplish their goals, examining others’ values and beliefs, and exploring the world around them.
Give – At Chellaston our staff and students are expected to give their very best in all that they do; they give their time and experience to help others, always giving equal respect to all.
Succeed – We are a successful school. Success is celebrated and promoted with all members in our community. We want all of our students to succeed – individually and as part of a team – to be courageous and to succeed with good spirit and humility, developing resilience and character to succeed, even if at first, they fail.
