Teacher of DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY and ART
Fixed Term Contract for one year
The Norton Knatchbull School is looking for a Teacher of Art and Design & Technology (DT). This is a full-time, fixed term position of one year with a September 2025 start for maternity cover. We welcome applicants from either selective or wide ability settings, who are keen to work with high achieving and motivated students in a strong department. The post is equally suitable for an ECT or a more experienced colleague looking for a new challenge.
The successful applicant will be joining two vibrant, supportive and cohesive department teams. They will be expected to have the ability to teach DT up to GCSE and the ability to offer at A Level would be desirable. In Art, the ability to teach to KS3 is expected and the ability to teach KS4 would be appreciated. Experienced colleagues will be expected to demonstrate a proven track record of examination success – and in the case of an ECT evidence of the potential to do so. We are looking for an excellent classroom practitioner who can inspire both colleagues and students and lead by example.
