Teacher of Art

Required from September 2021, an enthusiastic, innovative and highly motivated teacher to teach Art from Year 3 to Year 6.

Art is a highly valued area of the curriculum at Crescent. Our children love to be creative and are motivated to do well and to learn new skills. We are looking for an expert practitioner to engage and inspire the pupils, to build progression and development into their studies. All classes have one lesson a week devoted to art and will be taught in a specialist teaching room, subject to Covid guidelines at the time.

You will be expected to plan, deliver, assess and report Art to all children from Year 3 to Year 6. Your teaching should provide the proper balance between opportunities for expressing creativity and developing technique, with the emphasis on learning through exploration. There should be evidence in the children’s work of the impact of the teaching and individual progress should be evident at all stages. In the course of their learning, the children should be encouraged to develop a lifelong love of Art and Design.

This is an excellent opportunity to join the fast growing Foundation that values its staff and offers a rewarding benefits package including discounted places for staff, a pension scheme and a cycle to work scheme.
