We are looking to appoint a creative, passionate and innovative Art & Design teacher to join our vibrant and successful Art & Design, Music and Technology Faculty.
You will be teaching Art & Design across Key Stages 3 and 4, with a focus on Fine Art, Art, Craft & Design, although predominantly KS3. You’ll have your own teaching space, access to a wide range of well-equipped resources, and the opportunity to work with a dynamic team of subject specialists.
