Teacher of Art / Design

Applications for ECTs or more experienced teachers warmly welcomed.  Applications for full or part-time working are considered.

Start date: September 2025

We are seeking to appoint a Teacher of Art / Design to join our thriving Design department, which encompasses Art, Photography and Design Technology. The successful candidate will be an excellent teacher, capable of enthusing students of all abilities. They will join a vibrant and high performing team, and be passionate about bringing Art and Design to life for the students they teach. Art is an extremely popular subject at our school, and we deliver an array of courses, including Fine Art, Photography and 3D Design at both GCSE and A-Level. 

In return for your passion, commitment and drive, we offer a highly supportive working environment, students who are intellectually curious and keen to learn, and outstanding continued professional development opportunities, including a first-class ECT support package. Our Design department benefits from modern accommodation, the support of three technicians, and all Art teachers have their own classrooms. 

King’s Academy Easthampstead Park is a vibrant school which prides itself on holding traditional values. We seek to equip all students with the confidence, knowledge, skills and values that will enable them to thrive in the modern world.  Through our academic and personal development curricula, we aim to nurture and develop the whole child so that each unique individual grows constantly in confidence, and develops the knowledge, skills and self-esteem to achieve their true potential.  All children at our school access a broad, challenging and engaging curriculum, encouraging learning through well established, research-based quality first teaching.

This is a very exciting time to join us. In November 2022, we joined King’s Group Academies (KGA). This has created excellent opportunities for teachers to share ideas and approaches across schools, for the benefit of our students.

At our last OFSTED inspection (November 2021), we were rated as ‘Good’ in all areas and the inspection team noted that:

“Pupils enjoy coming to their happy and inclusive school. There is a strong ethos of mutual respect, courtesy and care for others.”

“Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They value the educational opportunities that they receive and want to succeed. Knowing their teachers have high expectations and want the very best for them encourages pupils to take pride in their work. Pupils confidently ask for help when they need it.”

We aspire to be rated ‘Outstanding’, driven by a core belief that all of our students deserve nothing but the best possible teaching and support in order to be happy, healthy and successful.  We aim to deliver the best quality teaching and learning in a school where staff and students have respect for, and pride in themselves, their school and their community.

If you feel you have the necessary skills, mindset and determination to join us on our journey towards ‘outstanding,’ we would very much like to hear from you. Visits to the school prior to application are warmly welcomed.
