Job overview
We are a very happy and popular school in the heart of the lovely town of Lewes. We believe in treating every pupil and every staff member as individuals and understand the importance of work life balance for all.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and engaging teacher of 3D Design from September 2019. The successful candidate will deliver DT in years 7 and 8 and 3D Design in year 9 (when pupils make some subject options) and at GCSE and BTEC level.
The Visual Arts Department at Lewes Old Grammar is an exciting place to be. Pupils are encouraged, with expert guidance, to express themselves creatively within a visually provocative environment. The Art and DT Rooms are a hive of activity; two infinitely stimulating and explorative spaces. Its highly creative atmosphere makes for dynamic, vibrant and original work. Design Technology focuses on craft and product design, mostly in wood. Every pupil’s artistic skills and vision are individual, and our small class sizes allow for close personal direction to support pupils in realizing their full potential. Staff within the department are passionate about their subject and regularly seek opportunities for cross curricular projects to infuse a love of technical arts in their pupils.
Our school motto is ‘Life Long Love of Learning’ and to that end we follow the simple view that pupils who enjoy the subject will engage in it, grow in confidence and will have the opportunity to excel. If you feel that you can play a strong and supportive role, both through the curriculum and also the many extra-curricular activities we offer we would be delighted to hear from you.
NQTs are very welcome to apply.
