Job overview

We are a National award winning, dynamic and innovative department, catering for students aged 7-18.  We offer our students the creative outlet and specialist knowledge to enable them to work with a high degree of autonomy.  We have a growing range of facilities which include ICT, photography studio equipment, darkroom, kiln and exhibition space.  Art is highly popular at both GCSE, AS and A level and a number of students progress onto Art college and University each year.

• Have a broad knowledge and good experience across a wide range of Fine Art influences, techniques, media and materials

• Be creative in using new technologies or teaching approaches to help students to learn and progress

• Keen to continually develop their practice, sharing best practice with the department during regular meetings

• An enthusiastic teacher who can plan a balanced, progressive and challenging curriculum, accessible to all students

• Have some knowledge of photography

• Teach children according to their needs, following the curriculum and learning policies of the school
