Teacher of Art (Maternity)

I'm working with my client School who require an Art Teacher from Easter. The position is Full time with a timetable mainly consisting of Art to Key Stages 3 & 4, with some additional Photography lessons.

While the position is to cover a maternity leave this still could provide an excellent opportunity for a more permanent role at the School. The School is part of the David Ross Education trust, which spans a network of 33 academies. The Maternity cover could really open the door for a career within the trust.

About the School

We seek to broaden the horizons of each and every one of our students, helping them to achieve at the highest level both academically and through their talents outside the classroom.

Through the support of the David Ross Education Trust, unrivalled sporting and enrichment opportunities allow our students to explore the world around them. With access to trips to the theatre, local universities, historical heritage sites and even international adventures, there is so much on offer.

Over the coming years every aspect of the academy will continue to grow and strengthen. Our doors are always open and we would welcome anyone who would like to find out more about our academy, to meet our dedicated staff and friendly students.
