1927 students (includes 328 in the Sixth Form).

We are now seeking to appoint a colleague who is motivated and well-qualified, with a real love for teaching and learning, and an ability to convey this to pupils and staff alike. This is an excellent opportunity for either a newly qualified or more experienced teacher to join a successful and experienced department, in a warm and supportive school, which values the contributions and ideas of all stakeholders and strives for high achievement for all its pupils. 

Art is taught throughout the school. All students in Years 7 and 8 study Art, and in Year 9 students begin GCSE Art, if they’ve chosen to continue studying the subject. Art and Design (AQA) is offered to students at both GCSE and A level, and the you should be prepared to teach Art at both KS4 and KS5. The ability / willingness to deliver Graphic Communications at KS4 or 5 would be desirable.

Creative risk taking and managing the challenge of new concepts in art and design are department strengths. An ability to teach (or experience with) Ceramics and Photography is desirable, but not essential. You should be willing to develop teaching skills in these areas. 

Copleston High School is a member of the Oxlip Learning Partnership. The Oxlip Learning Partnership's mission is ‘Achieving Success Together' and this is certainly a message that Copleston High School invests in too. We work to ensure that we are creating the best environment for our students to learn and our staff to develop.

Applications are welcome from both experienced teachers, who are looking to broaden their experience, and from newly qualified teachers.
