Teacher of Art (maternity cover)

The St Neots Learning Partnership Trust consists of two schools, Longsands Academy, and Ernulf Academy who work closely together to provide the best possible learning experience for the young people of St Neots.  St Neots is a market town with good facilities, within easy reach of Cambridge and with excellent transport links to London. The role encompasses teaching across both Academies and is expected to be required until Easter 2018. Full or part time considered.   

At St Neots Learning Partnership, you can expect a supportive culture within a Trust with very high aspirations. We value our staff and there are many development opportunities within the Partnership. All teachers receive an i-pad to assist with planning and communications.  

To cover maternity leave, we are seeking a highly creative, enthusiastic and motivated practitioner to join our successful Visual Arts Department.  The Arts Teams at Longsands and Ernulf are dedicated to providing all students with a rich curriculum and students are encouraged to develop skills across a broad range of materials and techniques.  As students move through the Key Stages, the Department projects are designed to give students greater creative freedom and personal ownership of their work.  We have high expectations of all students, in terms of their commitment and attainment in this subject.    

Applicants for this post must have experience of teaching Art and Design at KS3 and 4.  An ability to teach photography or graphics would be an advantage. There is a possibility of the role becoming permanent, should a vacancy arise during the maternity cover placement.   

Application documents may be downloaded from the Longsands Academy website http://www.longsands.cambs.sch.uk/information2/index.htm and completed applications should be emailed to HRlongsands@longsands.cambs.sch.uk      

If you would like to visit the Academies before applying, we would be delighted to welcome you, to make an appointment please contact Hrlongsands@longsands.cambs.sch.uk   

The closing date for applications is 21st June.  The St Neots Learning Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and we expect all staff to share this commitment. Applicants are thanked for their interest in this post.  Please note that only the candidates shortlisted for interview will be contacted.
