Job overview
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to work in a selective independent school in rural Leicestershire. Following over thirty years of outstanding service, the current post holder is retiring and we are seeking an innovative and dynamic individual to lead this crucial area of school life.
There is a strong and long standing tradition of outstanding success within our Art department at GCSE, A level and beyond. All students study Art in years 6-8, it is a popular option in Year 9 and GCSE and plays an invaluable role as part of our A level provision.
The quality of education at the Dixie has been judged as excellent by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and all staff play their part in our vibrant community - not least through contribution to an extensive co-curricular programme and as part of a dynamic pastoral team.
With fantastic new facilities at the Junior School, superb GCSE and A-level results and an ambitious strategic development plan, which includes provision for extensive new Art facilities, this is an excellent opportunity for an outstanding individual with drive, enthusiasm and strong leadership skills to steer the next phase of Art at the Dixie.
Applicants should complete the Dixie Application Form and send a covering letter to Richard Lynn, Headmaster (head@dixie.org.uk) no later than midday on Tuesday 21 January 2020.

Welcome to The Dixie Grammar School
Our teachers are highly motivated and gifted individuals who are able to inspire pupils with their enthusiasm and subject knowledge. They are committed to high quality teaching and participate in the extensive co-curricular programme. Most are graduates with postgraduate certificates.
Those who join us without PGCEs are supported to gain the qualifications soon after appointment. Training and professional development programmes are established, and we are experienced in managing Newly Qualified Teachers.
Our staff are both ECTs and experienced teachers; providing a stimulating and rewarding environment.
All staff are given access to an employee assistance programme the benefits of which are extensive and include immediate families. The Dixie Grammar School Pay scale is above the maintained sector pay scale and children of staff enjoy a significant reduction in tuition fees.
We are proud of our focus on developing colleagues as well as students. We have a high level of staff retention with staff typically remaining at the Dixie for a number of years and some for their whole careers. We also have many examples of teachers who have successfully moved into more senior roles at the Dixie and also some who have moved on to take promoted posts in similar schools.
Our high standards and high expectations of all at the Dixie are seen in all we do. Interaction between all in our community is built on our newly-emphasised values - Respect, Resilience, Courage, Commitment and Care; from the Chair of Governors to our youngest in Pippins, between teaching staff, support staff and students, we aim for our dealings with each other to be characterised by these values.
