Teacher of Art job summary

The school is looking to appoint a committed, enthusiastic individual as a teacher of Art. This vacancy has arisen as the current Head of Department is retiring at Easter. This is a fantastic opportunity for a great teacher of Art to join this well-established and outstanding department supported by excellent technicians. The role is to start at Easter but for an excellent NQT the school would be prepared to wait until September 2020.
The Art department is one of the most successful departments in the school and has been for many years. The department has two full time teachers of Art of which the successful candidate will be one. As well as covering the National Curriculum, pupils experience a wide range of materials and techniques in both 2D and 3D. In Years 10 and 11, pupils cover the AQA Art, Craft and Design GCSE (8201 specification), which places a greater emphasis on drawing and painting. A number of students have gone on to be successful Fine Art students at post-16 and beyond.
The department has a specialist subject area in school with large classrooms that are joined by a departmental office/storeroom and a room with IT resources and exhibition facilities. They are well-resourced and make a big contribution to school life – Art club is well-attended both at lunchtimes and after school with students who love the creative opportunities that they are provided in the subject.
We are looking to recruit the best teacher possible to this role whether they are an NQT or an experienced teacher looking for the opportunity to work in an outstanding department in an outstanding school.
It is hoped that the successful candidate will also teach some periods of Graphic Design within the Design Technology department.
