The position is for Maternity Cover for a period of up to 12 months.
The Art & Design Department at Westcliff High School for Boys (WHSB) has been a strong Department for a number of years. It has produced outstanding results consistently in GCSE and Advanced Level Art & Design (Fine Art). It has a passionate teaching team that enjoys teaching a variety of lessons and skills. Each teacher adapts their schemes of work to suit their strengths, while keeping in line with an agreed set of foundational knowledge that each year group needs to progress. The department works together closely and responsibilities and creative skills are frequently shared.
The Department encourages our students to be independent and intellectually curious from Year 7 to the Upper Sixth. We set regular competitions and enrichment opportunities and the students are free to work on personal creative projects outside of the curriculum. The Department is open on selected lunchtimes for students to work on projects and has an annual Art & Design Exhibition. The WHSB Art department offers talks, trips and visits to enrich our students learning, including a recent overseas art trip to Madrid.
The post includes the opportunity to take on additional Teaching and Learning Responsibilities in the Department for a suitably experienced candidate.
