Job overview
Westminster School seeks a motivated and passionate Teacher of Art to join their thriving Art Department on a temporary basis.
The successful candidate will make a meaningful contribution to the School through their creative and visual teaching, working to meet the educational needs of their pupils. An enthusiasm for drawing and traditional methods would be welcomed, as the successful candidate will have a focus on Lower School (Year 9, 10 and 11) teaching. They will also be given their own dedicated teaching space/studio to work and teach from.
The successful candidate will possess previous experience of teaching Art in a school setting, including experience of writing their own scheme of work. They will be an inspirational Teacher, with a genuine passion for Art and the ability to inspire and communicate this to their pupils.
The post requires the successful candidate to carry out their teaching across four days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday). However, on Friday and Saturday each day requires only 85 minutes of taught lessons. Our studios are open until 18:30 on a daily basis and the successful candidate is more than welcome to use their studio space outside of their allocated teaching time.
The total number of hours to be worked per week is 50% of the total timetable (Monday through to Saturday).

About Westminster School
Westminster School is the perfect environment for happy and purposeful pupils. Pupils are intellectually, socially, ethically and politically engaged and our aim is to ensure that their enthusiasm for learning is developed further, allowing them to take full advantage of the opportunities presented to them in the future.
While the School is one of the foremost centres of academic excellence in the country, its commitment to academic life does not make it a hothouse for passing examinations. Pupils’ success at examinations and entry to leading universities is instead a result of their enjoyment of academic enquiry, debate and search for explanation, well beyond published syllabuses. It is important also that pupils have the freedom to lead on projects outside of the classroom and embrace a whole range of extra-curricular activities and interests. A host of pupil-led Societies take place every week at the School and pupils can choose to study an additional language, play an instrument or two, volunteer in the local community, row along the Thames, take part in plays and musicals, and much more.
The School’s ethos resides in the enduring values of the liberal tradition reflected in the 1560 Charter of Westminster’s Elizabethan foundation, where it is stated that: ‘the youth which is growing to manhood, as tender shoots in the wood of our state, shall be liberally instructed in good books to the greater honour of the state’. Whilst academic and cultural attainments are highly prized at Westminster, the School is fully committed also to nurture each pupil’s spiritual, moral, emotional and physical development and wellbeing – with a particular emphasis on drawing out individual talent wherever it lies – and to prepare young people for fulfilled private and public lives.’
