Teacher of Art & Design

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). We have a passionate and committed team that

enjoys teaching a broad and dynamic curriculum. 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.
