We are extremely committed to ensuring all our students receive a broad and balanced curriculum with the Arts at the heart of our curriculum.

Students achieve fantastic results at both KS4 and 5 with many continuing their creative endeavours at University or creative apprentices.

You will have previous experience teaching Art, Graphics and Photography, and also possess excellent Photoshop & Illustrator skills, analytical skills with the ability to use data and assessment for learning effectively to inform practice.
You will possess the ability to work effectively with all students, engaging them through exciting yet challenging lessons and embedding a culture of positive behaviour for learning. But most importantly you will be committed to our school ethos of ‘all different, all equal,’ instilling high expectations in all our students to enable them to achieve their potential regardless of the barriers they face.
