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.

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’."
