Are you an inspirational, dedicated teacher of Art who is committed to raising expectations and attainment? Do you consistently deliver well planned lessons, track individual pupil progress and provide structured feedback?
Are you an individual who can provide effective and imaginative leadership? You will have a strong record of successful classroom teaching across all Key Stages and be capable of leading this department through the next phase of its development.
We are looking for an inspirational and dynamic Subject Leader to help us move the Art department forward. The successful candidate will be a talented and ambitious art teacher, with a passion for their subject.
You will have a creative and energetic approach to the teaching and learning of Art and the skills to promote a learning environment where every pupil is engaged and valued.

You will join our enthusiastic and collaborative Art department, teaching across all Key Stages. Students follow GCSE Art at KS4, with many students progressing to A Level in Sixth Form.
Dragonfly Multi Academy Trust (MAT) incorporates Mendip Studio School, Writhlington School, a Sixth Form and Peasedown St John Primary School. With the exception of the Primary School, all are located on a large modern campus that benefits from exceptional media facilities, a 400-seat theatre and a Community Sports Centre.
The teaching, leadership and pastoral support across the schools means that our students get the benefit of the shared facilities and curriculum opportunities. Mendip Studio School has recently received a ‘Good’ rating from Ofsted. The inspection outcome is a testament to the hard work, talent and commitment of all staff across the campus.
New staff ideas are encouraged and there are endless opportunities to lead and to contribute to its wide range of extracurricular activities: a large Combined Cadet Force, and international links with China, Tanzania & Rwanda that support the 14-19 curriculum.
