Teacher of Art

Due to an increase in student numbers we are expanding our teaching team in our technology and vocational subject faculty and we have an opportunity for a highly creative, dynamic and motivated Teacher of Art with a commitment to academic excellence and student success. The ability to offer another subject is desirable though not essential. Working as part of a faculty team, you will play an important role in delivering and developing the Academy’s Vocational Options. You will plan and deliver high quality lessons and be committed to achieving excellent results for all students, inspiring in them to have a passion for Art and the desire to learn and succeed.

The person appointed will play an important part in the continual development of a busy and successful curriculum team. We were graded ‘good’ in all areas by Ofsted in July 2022 and you will be joining a team that is continuing to drive the school forward.

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic Academy with a strong ethos of teamwork & support, where staff are committed to raising attainment. Applications are welcomed from both experienced & newly qualified teachers (we offer a full induction programme to ECTs).

This is an opportunity for flexible and adaptable candidates to have impact on the qualifications that the academy offers, working with the team to be part of the on-going development of our relevant curriculum provision.
