Head of Department - Art (Maternity Cover)

We are looking for a dedicated and passionate Head of Department - Art (Maternity Leave) to join our team!

We are delighted that you are considering joining our clever, committed and kind staff team in our relentless pursuit of the very best outcomes both academic and beyond, for the young people of South London. 11 years into our journey, with 2 Outstanding Ofsted inspections and some excellent outcomes secured, we remain just as committed to our ethos of 'getting a little bit better every day' as we were when we first opened. Of everything, we are most proud of the aspirational and resilient young people leaving us who go on to thrive in purposeful and challenging further education.

In joining our team, you can expect a united, caring and sociable staff body, an SLT committed to making our school a rewarding and sustainable place to work and a commitment to your development meaning the highest quality CPD and weekly coaching.

This is an exciting time to take on leadership of a well-established and successful department. We strongly believe an excellent Art education should be an experience for the many, not the few. We believe all pupils, with the right role models, expectations and teaching can learn to love and excel in Art. With these beliefs, we have been successful at building our Art curriculum, GCSE take up and extra-curricular offering. This role is an exciting opportunity to join our team. It will require huge amounts of perseverance and a constant drive for innovative excellence. However, this role will also be incredibly rewarding. We look forward to receiving your application.
