<div class="mds-edited-text mds-font-body-copy-bulk"><p>Ethos Education are looking to hire a Head of Art for 1 term (September 22 - January 2023). You will be a temporary Head of Art in a 3-18 girls & boys day school + 6th form college. This is a rare opportunity offered in an independent school. As an interim Head of Art you can expect high academic standards, higher than state school teachers salary and smaller class sizes + other benefits.</p>
<p>You need to be an experienced Head of Art & happy to teach in a Roman Catholic school (please note you do not have to be Catholic to teach here).</p>
<p>In the Lower Years (Nursery to Year 2), Art and Design Technology is taught by class teachers under the guidance of the Curriculum Leader, who oversees the long term planning and supports colleagues with the resourcing and delivery of lessons. Often the work is related to topics studied in class and the cross curricular approach continues into Year 3. The pupils in Years 4 to Year 6 have specialist Art and Design Technology lessons, demonstrating the important status that the creative subjects hold at St George’s.</p>
<p>The children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 visit the purpose built Art and Design Technology Room for their lessons on a weekly basis and have access to a wide range of resources to develop their creativity. The department is well-resourced with two kilns, a band saw, a strip heater and vacuum former (for plastic moulding), allowing the children to use a wide range of materials. Recent purchases have included a printing press and light projector, both funded by the Parents’ Association.</p>
<p>The successful candidate will ideally have experience teaching Art and Design Technology in a school environment but we would welcome applications from artists who are passionate about their subject and who would enjoy working with children. You will be a creative thinker, with an evident passion for the subject and a keen desire to enthuse pupils and colleagues. You will enjoy working as part of a team and leading others, have a good sense of humour, and will maintain excellent working relationships with colleagues.</p>
<p>You can take a direct train from Weybridge, Surrey into London (Waterloo) train station in 44 mins. Woking is a 20 min drive and Heathrow airport is only 15 min drive. Great for any Head of Art looking for European sun. Regretting no ECT's are able to apply for this role, only experienced Art teachers. Beautiful catchment area & the opportunity to teach in an independent school.</p>
