Job overview
We are seeking to appoint an outstanding part-time Subject Leader of Art and Design. The opportunity has arisen due to the internal promotion of the current incumbent.
The Subject Leader will be responsible for the development of the subject area and its teaching throughout the College. The ability to lead, inspire, innovate and offer fresh approaches to learning is essential. The successful applicant will be given genuine scope to develop the College’s Art and Design curriculum and freedom to establish its vision for this important and subject area.
Art and Design at Tettenhall College is a popular subject in all Key Stages and a preferred option of study for many of our GCSE and A Level pupils. Pupils are encouraged to express their creativity through various forms including painting, drawing, sculpting, ceramics and textiles.
The A level examining board is OCR and pupils can choose from fine art, graphic design and photography. Results are consistently high with many of our pupils choosing to pursue the subject at a higher level and pupils have gone on to study at leading art colleges including University of Falmouth and London School of Fashion.
The Subject Leader runs a number of annual visits to local and national galleries and museums. Residential trips to Paris and London are also undertaken and our young artists are encouraged to participate in national competitions and extra-curricular activities. We are also proud to maintain strong links with a number of art colleges and universities.
