We're looking for a dedicated Head of Art and Photography to join our warm, supportive team at Winton Community Academy from Easter 2025.
Ready for your talents to be nurtured?
Come and play a vital role in ensuring our students receive the education they deserve.
In collaboration with colleagues, you will deliver outstanding teaching to every child, in every classroom, every day.
At our school, we ensure that you have the time and space needed to get on with what matters most - educating - so we remove as much administrative burden from you as possible.
Our Art & Photography department is a well-established and very well resourced department at the heart of the school.
Students go on from studying a strong foundation of Art & Design throughout KS3, and Photography lessons in Y9, to choosing Pearson Fine Art GCSE or AQA Photography GCSE, both of which are popular options in KS4.
This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the lives of young people.
