Teacher of Art

The Oriel Art Department 

INNOVATIVE, MOTIVATED AND SUCCESSFUL 

The Art & Design department at Oriel High School consists of five members of teaching staff and two technicians. They are a fantastic team of staff who are extremely passionate about their subject area. Art is a well-resourced department that boasts four specialist Art rooms; a photographic darkroom, a kiln room and a Sixth Form Study room. Our students have access to a wide range of equipment including digital cameras, pottery wheels, sewing machines, batik pots and a heat press.

There are excellent support networks for art staff - both in the department and across the wider school. Collaborative working is very important to the art team and the successful applicant will enjoy working as part of a creative

team. Art is considered to be a very important part of the Oriel High School curriculum and we believe that all students should be given the op-portunity to explore their own individuality and creativity.
