Teacher of Art and Photography job summary
Teacher of Art and Photography
Required for September 2022
Enhanced United Learning Salary Scale
Suitable for both Early Career Teachers and experienced teachers
The Visual Arts department seek a dedicated and dynamic teacher of Art and Photography. The post is suitable for all teachers who are experienced or, in the early stages of their career. The post would offer the challenge of working in a large school and the opportunity to teach GCSE and A Level in both Art and Photography.
Art is a popular subject throughout all key stages and students enjoy their lessons. Both Art and Photography are popular choices at GCSE. Numbers at A Level are rising in both disciplines; an advantage is that class sizes at A Level are small, providing great opportunities for students and teachers to develop personal, interesting and individual Art and Photography- that has a real sense of meaning and creativity.
The facilities within the department are superb. Along with a suite of 3 classrooms, there is a dedicated 6th Form area, photo studio, dark room and very large store-area. We also have a suite of computers with Photoshop in a separate photography computer room. The art department is located on the top floor and boasts great views, and the bonus of a large patio-balcony area where students and teachers can work outdoors.
The curriculum is broad and at KS3 students work in both 2D and 3D. Students work individually and in groups in a creative and exciting curriculum that focusses not only on skills but on creativity and artistic expression. Painting, printing, ceramics, sculpture, photography, mixed media work are all tackled along with some projects having open, issues-based themes in order to promote real expression, artistic care and thought from our students about broader world issues.
The Head of Department expects to work closely with the successful candidate in continually reflecting upon and updating SOW for both Art and Photography to improve the experience of all students even further. Studying other artist’s work is important and students are shown a range of artists and artwork across time and places. We aim to develop this area further by providing more visits to galleries and museums in this exciting new phase for the department where we would also like to start creating more links with other subjects across the school.
Display is important within the department and Art and Photography work is displayed in the more open plan areas of the department, and we are seeking further opportunities to take this further into the main school and beyond, making links with local businesses and galleries.
Students are keen to attend the variety of Art Clubs we run, and GCSE and A Level student are often found working in the studio spaces after school. We are aa friendly place for both students and staff alike.
As a United Learning academy, we collaborate with other English departments locally and across the country. We have played our part in contributing to comprehensive scheme of work which are shared across the academy trust providing significant support with lessons planning. In addition, we have developed a rigorous and structured teaching and learning policy which alongside high-quality weekly subject CPD, helps teachers rapidly optimise their teaching ensuring we get the most out of every minute of our students’ time.
We offer pay scales above the national standard with rapid progression for those who get consistent outstanding student outcomes, reduced gym membership to our on-site gym, reduced fees for the on-site nursery, and a laptop. There is a car leasing scheme and all staff can access ‘Perkbox’ offering discounts in weekly shopping, high street stores and flights and holidays. Why? Because we want the best for all our staff as well as our students!
We are working hard to become a more diverse organisation – which is key to our commitment to bringing out the best in everyone. We welcome applications from everyone committed to this ethos and would particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently under-represented in the Group as a whole. We always appoint on merit. We are open to discussing flexible working options.
We appreciate that moving to a new school is a significant decision, so we wish to extend an open invite for you to meet us. Please contact Vicky Ovens on 01243 871068 or email vicky.ovens@theregisschool.co.uk to arrange a visit to the school or a phone conversation.
