Summary

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking an enthusiastic, creative and resilient Teacher of Art to join our dedicated team on a 0.6 FTE (three days per week) basis. This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate practitioner to deliver Art across both the primary and secondary phases, inspiring pupils through engaging and meaningful creative experiences that support both academic success and personal development.

The successful candidate will teach Art across Key Stages 2, 3 and 4 and will lead the delivery of accredited pathways, including BTEC Art and Design.

We are particularly interested in candidates who can bring fresh ideas, develop enriching opportunities and showcase the creative achievements of our pupils both within school and the wider community.
