Ark St Alban’s Academy is seeking to appoint a skilled and enthusiastic teacher to lead its Art provision.

About the role:
In Art, our pupils are consistently successful. This year, 100% of grades achieved by our GCSE artists were a grade 4 or higher, including 75% at 5+. Our A-Level artists were equally successful, with 100% achieving at least a C grade.
Providing all pupils with an academic and rigorous Art education is central to our university preparatory curriculum.
All pupils study Art at Key Stage Three. At Key Stage Four, Art is an increasingly popular choice. The successful candidate will take on the challenge of expanding our Art enrichment offer, to build a love of Art all the way through our school, as well as growing the number of pupils choosing to study Art at A-Level.
The successful candidate will work with leaders to evaluate the Art curriculum and to develop an approach to guiding pupils to make even greater progress, particularly at Key Stage Three. In addition, there will be the opportunity in this role to continue the work of the department in playing a leading role in the trust-wide collaboration of curriculum leaders from across the network of Ark Schools.
In this role, the successful candidate will receive direct support from the Director of Arts and the senior leadership team through line-management. The successful candidate will also join a thriving curriculum leadership team within the school that works together to drive whole school improvement. As part of Ark Schools, all colleagues also have access to exceptional professional development and training opportunities, including NPQs through the Ark Teaching School Hub and Ambition Institute.
We are seeking an excellent teacher to join our work to provide a transformational education for all of our pupils.
