Job overview
Lammas is recruiting for a teacher of Art to inspire the next generation of Artists. We would like to hear from you if you can share your enthusiasm for the subject, your knowledge and your skills with our students and staff to help build an outstanding Art department. The department teaches Art up to A level. You will enjoy being part of friendly and supportive team committed to making a difference to the lives of our young people.
The Creative Arts at Lammas is a collegiate department that welcomes innovative ideas and supports each of its members to achieve their own goals within their professional practice. All members of the faculty contribute towards shaping the curriculum and play a part in our Wide Horizons program. We welcome applications from colleagues who share our commitment to providing an inclusive and diverse Arts Education that supports and challenges the young people in the community we serve.
Please look at our website and explore the Trust website as fully as you can (www.griffinschoolstrust.org). You will see evidence of the shared life of the schools in the Trust in events such as the Science Symposium, the Arts Festival, the Sports Festival and Founders Day.
The Trust really is a family of schools which work closely together within and across phases and geographical hubs. So in joining Lammas you do have good relationships with local authority schools and projects but you also have a strong working relationship with your peers in Nicholas Chamberlaine School in North Warwickshire as well as day to day involvement with our two GST neighbour primaries, Willow Brook and Riverley, both outstanding and one a shining example of what a Griffin Great School looks and feels like. It is that journey to Griffin Great that informs our development planning. Ofsted validates our progress within a defined national framework: it emphatically does not set our agenda.
Having researched sufficiently to decide to apply, please tell us in no more than two sides of A4 in 11 points
(1) why you want to join Lammas School as a Teacher of Art and what you see as our challenges
(2) why your personal track record matches or exceeds our requirements.
Please include a full CV with the names and direct contact details of two referees and the completed Safer Recruitment form.
To apply for this position include a full CV with the names and contact details of two referees and send it along with your supporting statement of no more than two sides of A4 and addressed to Carla Kenny, Head of School, at gyoung@thelammas.com telling us about your experience in contributing to schools high performance and your personal educational vision.
The deadline for applications is 9am on Monday 14th October 2024, interviews to follow shortly afterwards.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.

About Lammas School and Sixth Form
About the Griffin Schools Trust
The Griffin Schools Trust (GST) is a family of ten primary and two secondary schools in the Midlands, London and South East. We have a strong track record in making schools much better for children and their families and for the staff who work with us. Our single most important mission is to provide the conditions in which children discover who they are and then go on confidently to take their places in society, making a contribution to the world through the use of their talents. We will never prepare children to know their places.
When schools decide to join us they bring their histories to us and together we turn them into traditions reflecting the Trust’s mission and values whilst preserving and extending the each school’s individuality. We offer a rich curriculum and an unusual range of enrichment and extension clubs and activities. We also have shared traditions so that children form every school feel part of the same family. Every summer term we hold the Griffin Arts Festival. In the spring we have Founders Day and the Science Symposium and in the autumn students compete in the Griffin Science Symposium. All these festivals are linked in an annual theme schools’ four houses compete for a Trust cup which is awarded to the house colour which has accumulated most points from all Trust events. All staff, including the CEO, belong to a house.
Great GST schools have nothing institutional about them and great GST staff are thoughtfully recruited for their excellent knowledge and their broad interests. They are developed by Heads as well as the research and training opportunities offered across the Trust to add their individual magic to the mix. All our schools practice open and distributed leadership and place a high value on creativity as well as growing great talent pipelines to ensure that there are plenty of opportunities for promotion within and beyond the school.
Look at our website and click through to some of the schools as well as the one to which you are applying. We are frequently told that colleagues have found their professional home at GST. Is it yours? We look forward to hearing from you.
