Applicants will join an innovative, forward-thinking and committed team. The position would suit dynamic teachers who are able to inspire pupils of all abilities to develop their full potential.

Experience of teaching Art is essential as is an ability to interact and support children in a positive way to foster their enthusiasm for learning and creativity.
