What skills and experience we're looking for

The Governors are seeking to appoint a well-qualified Art Teacher with initiative, drive and determination to join our incredibly high-performing Art department. This vacancy has arisen due to popularity of the subject at GCSE and A-level, coupled with a reduction in hours for the Head of Department, a reflection of our commitment to facilitate part time working where possible.

We have extremely high expectations of our students and staff, and we offer excellent training and professional development opportunities.

This position would be ideal for someone looking to broaden their experience or an Early Career Teacher.
