TEACHER OF A LEVEL PHOTOGRAPHY
We are looking for a dynamic A Level teacher to join a well-established and well-resourced Art department for September 2025. The department comprises seven teachers and three technicians, following the AQA A Level courses in Photography, Fine Art and Textiles; over 90 students in all. Experience of delivering Fine Art or Textiles would be a significant advantage, as there is significant crossover between the endorsements. This is a full time role in which the teacher will take responsibility for three classes. Contact time with each class is six hours per week, a 70 minutes lesson per day, and support outside of lesson time is regarded as an essential supplement. There is a dedicated photography studio, great resources and a huge amount of student creativity as the foundations of success. The department runs several super-curricular programmes for artists, as well as organising gallery visits and overseas trips.
