Inspire Creativity. Develop Future Photographers.
Are you passionate about photography and visual storytelling? Do you enjoy inspiring young people to explore their creativity and develop their artistic skills?
At Ringwood School, we are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative Teacher of Photography / Art who can bring the subjects to life, helping students develop both technical expertise and creative confidence. From digital photography and image editing to visual communication and artistic expression, you will inspire students to see the world through a creative lens.
There is also potential for the successful candidate to take on the role of Subject Lead for Photography, helping to shape and develop this exciting area of the curriculum.
The Art team is friendly, mutually supportive and works together and with other teams across the school to produce an ethos and atmosphere which is conducive to learning. We value the individuality and creativity of students and actively seek routes to success for all; we champion an inclusive approach to education within our department and within the school. We recognise the importance of learning from each other to include sharing best practice both within and between schools.
The Art department consists of 6 rooms, including one specialist room dedicated to the teaching of photography; alongside a darkroom and studio. We are supported by a department technician 3 days a week and are developing new ways of engaging with the wider community. We are a well-resourced and fully supported department within the school. Art is valued by all members of the school community and we are looking to celebrate the intrinsic value of our subject even further going forward; the department has worked with a large number of partner schools in developing Art and Photography competitions and initiatives in recent years; any new colleague would play a role in sustaining and growing this part of our work. We have also recently developed growing links with AUB (Arts University Bournemouth) as well as creative industry professionals, these are known as our Creative Conversations; these can be viewed on the schools YouTube channel and are illustrative of our belief in study of Art in its broadest sense.
Our results at A-Level over time are good and our GCSE results are often excellent. We aspire to continue with these excellent results as a department and work closely with the team to ensure that students are always making good progress.
If you’re ready to bring art to life in a school that values passionate teaching, we’d love to hear from you!
