Head of Art (Part-time)

Eaton House Belgravia School is currently seeking a creative and enthusiastic teacher to join the team as a Head of Art (part-time) for April 2022. This role is being advertised on  a part-time basis and currently the working days for this role are Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

At Eaton House Belgravia we encourage all of our pupils to strive and persevere to be whoever they want to be. We understand that boys blossom academically at different rates, which is why we offer a personalised education, bespoke to each boy, in close consultation with his parents.

Our aim is to encourage boys to be confident and full of self-belief and we do this with a system of positive feedback and rewards. The welfare of each child is paramount and we find that every boy excels at something. 

At Eaton House Belgravia Prep our high-quality art and design curriculum engages, inspires and challenges the boys, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design.

As the boys progress, they become able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They also will also come to learn how art and design reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.

The boys produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences. They become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques.

Evaluation and analysis of creative works using the language of art, craft and design is part of the process. Over time, the boys come to know about great artists, craft makers and designers. This allows them to understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms.

The main aim of the Art department is to deliver a well-balanced and rich art education to every boy, developing a genuine enjoyment and curiosity in the artistic creative process. By the time the boys leave Eaton House we aim to have introduced them to as many working practices as possible, offering them challenging activity and sophisticated learning, preparing them for the wonderful opportunities on offer at their senior schools.

All our boys have the opportunity to fulfil their potential and to flourish through learning, exploration and being inquisitive. We believe that once boys discover a love for learning they can achieve anything. We are proud not to test ability at 4+ entry and yet we remain one of the top feeder schools for Westminster and St Paul’s Schools.

The ideal candidate should be keen to continue their professional development and be up-to-date with current practice and procedure within teaching.

QTS for this role is not essential.

Successful candidates may be contacted prior to the application deadline date. 

A completed application form should be uploaded to the TES jobsite or sent by email to the Head of Human Resources, Miss Jessica Morse (Tel: 0207 924 6000; email: HR@eatonhouseschools.com)
