What skills and experience we're looking for
We have an exciting opportunity for a teacher of art to join a large and well-resourced curriculum team. Design technology and art are extremely popular at both GCSE and A Level, and we offer a wide range of subjects. Each subject area (product design, textiles, food, art, engineering, construction, creative technology, and child development) consists of at least 2 specialist rooms with a compliment of specialist resources as well as our own computer suite. The large curriculum team consists of experienced teachers and 3 technicians who will always offer help and guidance to make staff feel welcome and supported both within the team and the school.
We are looking for a driven and well-qualified (inclusive of ECT’s) teacher of art who, under the support and guidance of the Director of Design, Art, and Technology, will assist with the development of art in the school. We welcome innovative and creative ideas and enjoy giving art/DT teachers the autonomy to teach to their strengths whilst also contributing to their professional development. Applications are welcomed from ECT’s and those with a proven track record of success in the classroom. The ability to teach art is essential. Please refer to the candidate pack for further information about the curriculum team.
As a teacher in our school, you will be responsible for ensuring that every student enjoys an excellent experience in your lessons and will work closely with the rest of the team in developing and delivering engaging Schemes of Learning.

If you are a highly effective teacher, able to form excellent educational relationships with students and staff and are confident in the development of engaging schemes of learning, we would love to hear from you.
