Job overview
The development of Creative Art is an integral part of our Curriculum of the Head, Hand and Heart.
As we seek to broaden the horizons of our students through an excellent and relevant education, striving to prepare them for exciting and varied futures as respectful and responsible people, it is critical that we harness the transformative power of Creative Art.
To help us realise our ambitions we seek applications from an outstanding Teacher of Art who is not just passionate about their subject and committed to the profession, but who is ambitious for our young people and the community we serve. While this is a maternity cover position, we would invite potential colleagues wishing to explore opportunities with us on a longer term basis to visit our school to discuss further with us.
Following our recent Ofsted inspection, graded good in all categories, we are focussed on authentic and sustainable school development which brings about opportunities and meaningful improvements to the lives of our students.
Withernsea High School is a smaller than average local authority maintained secondary school. Situated in Holderness, and with a coastal location, it has all the advantages of a pleasant rural environment. There is affordable housing in the town of Withernsea and in the surrounding villages house prices are relatively low.
The school benefitted from a rebuild and refurbishment in 2016 and as such is spacious, modern and fully resourced.
You will join staff who are thoroughly committed to working hard for our young people. Like you, they are determined to drive forward change by doing the right things and doing them well.
Salary: MPS/UPS

Ofsted report
Our Ofsted inspection in November 2021 rated the school Good in all areas.
"Pupils at this school are welcoming. A strong sense of tolerance and respect for others develops through the curriculum of the ‘head, hand, and heart’."
"Pupils are focused in lessons. Teachers deal quickly with rare instances of off task behaviour. Pupils respond to teachers’ instructions well. At social times, pupils’ behaviour is calm. There are clear rules and routines which pupils understand and follow. Expectations of pupils are high."
"Leaders have identified key aims in the curriculum. These include helping to ‘broaden horizons’ for pupils. The personal development curriculum has been carefully planned to achieve this aim. One pupil told inspectors that an important aim of the school was ‘to make people feel welcome, no matter who they are’."
