Teacher of Art job summary
We are seeking a dynamic, innovative and inspirational
part-time (0.50 FTE) teacher of Art to join our highly successful school from
September 2022.
The art department at SLGGS strives for excellence and
innovation and is a popular subject at both GCSE and A Level. We wholeheartedly
recognise the impact of the arts on student development and emotional
well-being and set out to challenge and support our students in equal measure.
Our art curriculum is diverse, exploring media and techniques in two and three
dimensions and we encourage our students to be ambitious and daring as they
develop and create their work. There are additional enrichment opportunities on
offer such as Arts Award Silver and in planning and contributing to our annual
ArtsFest. Previously we have achieved Artsmark Gold and have now embarked on an
exciting new Artsmark journey with many ambitious goals. Our aim is to ignite a
genuine sense of engagement, which enables an environment positively charged
with creative possibilities.
The successful applicant must be passionate about
their subject, degree educated with a confident knowledge and understanding of
fine art practice, materials and techniques. Our focus is on building skills in
drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture and ceramics so a specialist in one
or more of these fields would be ideal. However, we would also welcome other
innovative practitioners who may be able to offer an additional area of
expertise to our department. A good working knowledge of art history and
contextual studies, along with the ability to teach KS3 design technology would
be desirable.
This would be an excellent opportunity to contribute
to and enhance a highly successful department in a brand-new school building
with excellent art facilities. We require a committed and able practitioner who
has the drive to maintain superb academic results, in addition to developing a
thriving extra-curricular programme. This role is suitable for an experienced
teacher or an NQT.
Simon Langton Girls’ Grammar School is a highly
respected school that places students’ academic success on a par with their
well-being, creating a learning community where every individual matters. This
is reflected in our approach to teaching and learning and as a teacher of Art
the successful candidate will be central to continuing to instil this ethos in
our students.
Our curriculum:
We currently follow EdExcel (Fine Art) for both GCSE
and A Level courses, details of which can be found on our website.
