Job overview

Are you a vibrant and passionate teacher of Art and Design looking to make a real impact?

At Redmoor Academy, we are a dedicated team of experienced educators committed to high standards of teaching and learning. We pride ourselves on delivering engaging, well designed and creative lessons that motivate all our students. As part of our dynamic Art and Design department, you'll collaborate with like-minded professionals, aiming to enable all students to access the curriculum and make significant progress across both key stage 3 and key stage 4. Together, we strive to create a varied and challenging curriculum that keeps our students excited about learning, resulting in outstanding GCSE results year after year. If you're ready to join a team that seeks to promote a positive culture for Art and Design, a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere within the classroom and that values excellence in education, we want to hear from you!

Since the introduction of a new Principal and leadership team in 2017, Redmoor has experienced sustained and continuous improvement to ensure our students make better progress than similar students nationally. This was recognized in our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2021 where we were judged securely “good” in all areas, demonstrated by 6 years of positive Progress 8 and fantastic GCSE outcomes for students, evidenced in the social development of our students as they become valuable members of the community and affirmed by the significant over subscription for places in Year 7 we experience every year.

 The school’s most recent Ofsted visit in September 2021 recognised that Redmoor is “ambitious for everyone to do well in all aspects of school life and is a school that serves its community well” and that “pupils and staff are very proud of their school.” The inspection report confirmed what was widely known in the local community: that Redmoor Academy was a good school, with the quality of teaching, the curriculum, pastoral care and leadership all identified as strong. 

At Redmoor we invest in the continued professional development of all of our colleagues. Our CPD programme focuses on whole school priorities and the continuous development of pedagogy based on research, best practice and our excellent links with other schools. In addition, we offer individualised CPD pathways which support staff at all stages of their career progression including coaching, in-house training and National Professional Qualifications for middle and senior leaders. 

We have a clear understanding of what we are looking for in the staff we appoint. If you have a desire to work hard transforming lives, are a team player and want to be part of a dynamic team, you could be a Redmoor person.

Since the introduction of a new Principal and leadership team in 2017, Redmoor has experienced sustained and continuous improvement to ensure our students make better progress than similar students nationally.  This was recognized in our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2021 where we were judged securely “good” in all areas, demonstrated by 6 years of positive Progress 8 and fantastic GCSE outcomes for students, evidenced in the social development of our students as they become valuable members of the community and affirmed by the significant over subscription for places in Year 7 we experience every year.

We continue to invest significantly in our building and facilities, including new classrooms, ICT provision, science laboratories and refurbished sports courts.  The school is consistently and substantially oversubscribed with over 900 students on roll. Excitingly and as a result of our continued success, we are about to expand further, increasing the number of students that can be admitted into Year 7 with an investment of £10 million to develop our sports, science, art and catering facilities to provide a first-class learning environment.

We set high aspirations within a culture of academic excellence, evidenced by the excellent progress students of all abilities make and the number of Grade 9s and Distinction *s in our GCSE results. We teach the majority of subjects in mixed attainment groups and are passionate in our desire for every student to be successful.  Our ethos is underpinned by a strong and supportive pastoral culture which promotes pupil well-being, as we believe in the education of the whole child in order to equip them to be good citizens in society.
