The Art & Design department has a proven track record of outstanding success at GCSE level with 88% of all students achieving a grade 4-9 and 71% of students achieving a grade 5-9 in 2024 which is well above the national average. The successful candidate would be joining a team with many outstanding practices and a determination to continue developing the subject and its curriculum offer which includes AQA GCSE Art, Craft & Design & GCSE Photography.

The right candidate would benefit from entering a very supportive environment with a wide range of skills, innovation and experience.
