Head of Art

AKS Lytham is part of United Learning, a large and growing group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England. Schools within United Learning work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. By collecting expertise and combining resources, we help to make the tough job of teaching a little easier. With a shared curriculum and lesson plans from around the group available to all, our teachers have strong foundations to lead the engaging, rounded education our children deserve. Our intranet site, United Hub, is just one example of how we share this resource and communicate across sites, helping to simplify processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance. We reward our staff: with wide career opportunities – between Primary and Secondary, Academy and Independent – better pay, benefits, and ultimately the satisfaction of helping every child at each of our schools to succeed and reach their full potential.

We are looking for a dynamic, talented teacher to lead our Art Department. You will have a passion for teaching Art to A level, together with the skills to inspire and motivate our students.
 
We have excellent facilities and the quality of our pupils’ work is outstanding; the Annual Exhibition of our pupils’ GCSE and A level work is a highlight for parents, pupils and staff alike. Pupils’ work is regularly displayed in local and national exhibitions.
 
AKS Lytham is a friendly school from Nursery to Sixth Form, committed to achieving the highest of standards in all aspects of its educational provision. It currently has the best independent school GCSE and A level results in Lancashire, award winning art, drama and music, truly inclusive sport, and one of the most successful Duke of Edinburgh Award programmes in the county.
 
AKS Lytham provides high standards of teaching, outstanding pastoral care, and a wide co-curricular programme, in a magnificent and historic building with a stunning aspect over the Ribble Estuary and Irish Sea. The impressive campus has also benefitted from a multi-million investment programme, with brand new buildings, refurbished facilities, establishing a strong and stable independent school for current and future generations of young people.
