Teacher of Art

‘Training opportunities are wide-ranging drawing on the experience and expertise of staff within school’ Ofsted 2013
 
Buttershaw Business & Enterprise College is housed in a brilliant new £26 million building which is a massive investment in both the school and the community. We are on the southern edge of Bradford and 7 miles from Leeds. We are popular locally and heavily over-subscribed.

Learning has been transformed at Buttershaw with new opportunities, new facilities and new technologies. The curriculum is innovative with courses for all abilities and we are truly proud of our inclusive approach and our commitment to see every child reach his or her potential.

The key benchmark figure of 5A*-C including English and maths rose from 20% to 47% between 2008 and 2013 and ethos improved strikingly.

We now wish to appoint an inspiring and creative Teacher of Art. You will be joining a dedicated team which works with students of all abilities to remove specific barriers to learning and allow students to progress rapidly.

You will have:

• Experience of teaching art to GCSE and Level 3
• The passion and skills to bring the best out of our students
• A commitment to continuous professional development (CPD)
• Creative and engaging skills with the ability to enthuse and challenge students

We can offer:

• Clear and shared values and expectations
• A commitment to tailored professional development
• Membership of a supportive team within our art department
• A stimulating work environment

If you have the vision and drive for excellence and you want to be part of an enthusiastic and well-resourced team we would like to hear from you. Visits to the school are encouraged and can be arranged by contacting Anna Krywyszyn or Taffy Hordley on 01274 805667, or by email at alk@buttershaw.net.
