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. Both subjects are popular and the department has well established facilities which are supported by the latest technology to support the students’ experience in both courses. This subject plays a key role in the College’s achievement and development. The department is a driven and cohesive team who demand the best from each other and from their students. The right candidate would benefit from entering a very supportive environment with a wide range of skills, innovation and experience. There is no requirement to be Catholic and we would welcome Early Career Teachers, or more experienced teachers to apply for either a January or September 2025 start.
