About the job

We're in search of a Teacher of Art who meets the following criteria:

Join a strong Art department where students thrive, and staff well-being is a priority. A popular subject option at Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5, it is an exciting time to join a team that is developing all the time. We work collaboratively to plan engaging and well-rounded lessons for our students, where knowledge and application to the wider world is key success. We would welcome new ideas and perspectives from a practitioner that places our students and their progress at the heart of what they do.

We have a fantastic Curriculum Team Leader who is passionate about the subject and its place within the school, and the subject is taught in our purpose-built Aldersley Art facility, a new suite of classrooms opened in Spring 2025, which is part-classroom, part studio - an inspiring environment for the next generation of artists.
