Leading a highly experienced team of professional educators and artists, you will work directly under the line management of Plymouth College of Art’s Dean of Pre-Degree.
This role will require an innovative approach from a dynamic individual who is excited by the idea of leading and shaping development in an institution where everybody’s voice is heard and valued.

In 2012 we successfully bid to Government to open a mainstream 4–16 school - on a radical new model that places creativity and arts practice at the very heart of the curriculum and of the wider pupil learning experience. The venture was described as ‘an historic moment for education in this country’ by Sir Nicholas Serota, Director of Tate when he officially opened the school in 2015 and has since gone on to receive multiple awards in architecture. www.plymouthschoolofcreativearts.co.uk
