Art & Design Teacher

Uteach present an excellent opportunity to teach Art in a newly formed Academy in Leeds. The part-time role of 19.5 hours per week begins in January 2015 and whilst temporary, it has the possibility of becoming permanent.

The school has approximately 1500 mixed gender students aged 11-18 enrolled.

The school received a grade 3 ofsted ranking in March 2012. The inspection team noted that there had been improvements in the students' attainment and in the quality of teaching and leadership and management since the previous inspection. They reported that leaders and managers are clear about and accurate in their understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the school and take appropriate actions to bring about improvements, including for teaching.

The recently appointed Principal noted that, in 2014, 6% more Y11 students received the 'gold standard' of 5 or more good GCSE passes including English and Maths than in 2013

The position provides the opportunity to work as part of a dedicated and passionate team of Creative Arts Teachers who are focussed on delivering outstanding and engaging multimedia Art lessons across all year groups.
