Teacher of Art

Teacher of Art

Part Time 0.8 FTE

Permanent Contract

£MPS/UPS £28,000 - £43,685 subject to annual progression 

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspirational teacher of Art to KS4 level, who is also committed to facilitating high levels of student engagement and academic progress, creating a stimulating and positive classroom ethos and fostering independent and collaborative learning. A capacity to teach Photography GCSE is also desirable.

The Creative Arts faculty is made up of the Art, Drama, Music and Photography departments. Each department comprises teachers with a range of experience, who work together effectively and take a collaborative approach to planning and curriculum delivery. A commitment to supporting extra-curricular activities would be welcomed. We are very proud of our Arts curriculum, provision and facilities and we are committed to ensuring that the Arts offer our young people with the opportunity to build skills and confidence whilst enhancing their educational experiences.

Langley is a wonderful place to work and learn in and as our last Ofsted report suggested: 'Pupils are thoroughly prepared for life in modern Britain' at our school, where the holistic approach to child centred learning is valued as highly as the outcomes they eventually achieve at the end of their time with us.

Our school’s fundamental principles focus on supporting, challenging and inspiring the whole Langley community ‘to be the best that we can be’. But these are not simply words on paper. Students, staff and governors genuinely give all they can, to bring those principles to life every day. Examinations are critically important, of course, and our students achieve superbly well in them, but we truly believe in developing young people to deal with the tests of their lifetime, not merely to endure a lifetime of tests. Everyone who visits us comments on the special ethos of our school – ‘the Langley way’. 

If you are interested in the post and would like to find out more about our school before applying, please email our Head of Faculty Matt McCallum at s206mmccallum@langley.solihull.sch.uk
