Job overview
You’re an inspirational teacher with the talent and passion to bring out the very best in every student. Now it’s your turn to be inspired. That’s because you’re going to be joining an ambitious school that’s on a mission to further develop all aspects of teaching and learning.
Welcome to Lode Heath School. With a forward-thinking new leadership team in place, we’re on a journey to excellence – and now’s your chance to help us get there. We’re certainly building on solid foundations. In 2014, 99% of our students gained at least five GCSEs at grades A* to G including English and Maths, with 80% achieving five or more A*to C. With continuing success over the last few years, the community trusts us to deliver an outstanding education. In turn, we are working to develop Lode Heath as a learning hub for everyone in that community.
Within this refreshingly collaborative and team-focused culture, colleagues work together towards shared goals. Our aim, quite simply, is to make sure that pupil achievement is at the heart of everything we do.
If you’d like to be part of our exciting future, you will need to share our belief in educating the whole person - and in helping every student, irrespective of their background or abilities, to build the skills, confidence and independence they need to thrive in higher education or the workplace.
We require for September 2015 a Part Time Teacher of Art & Design to work within our Art & Design Faculty.
As you support your students to succeed, so we’ll support you to progress your career with us. All of our teaching staff enjoy a bespoke CPD programme that’s built around their particular talents and aspirations.

Lode Heath School is a caring and nurturing learning community with tolerance, respect and responsibility at its core. We support each other, we value each other as individuals and we have the highest expectations of each other.
Our aim is to educate the whole person: to help every student, irrespective of their background or abilities, to build the skills, confidence and independence they need to thrive in higher education or the workplace. That means promoting a love of learning that will last a lifetime. And we have high aspirations for our staff too; we too are lifelong learners and, through a warm and collaborative approach, we aim to support and challenge each other to be reflective and to push ourselves to provide our students with the very best that we can.
Key here is our diverse curriculum - a wide and varied mix of subjects that engages, stimulates, challenges and stretches young minds, encouraging them to explore and discover. Beyond developing their understanding and knowledge of subjects themselves, we give our students the opportunity to build all-important life skills as part of the curriculum. Our Life Ready Days also offer a wide range of inspiring experiences including team building with the army entrepreneurial workshops, volunteering and many more. When it comes to extra-curricular activities, there really is something for everyone including theatre visits and sports tours to expeditions around the world, workplace experiences and regular dance, drama and music shows to name but a few. There’s a wide range of school clubs too, as well as volunteering opportunities in the local community and here at the school itself. We welcome any new opportunities to widen our already extensive offer.

The AMAT also provides opportunities for sharing best practice and progression routes as we look to identify and nurture staff talent and recruit from within.
