About the Role
The Primary School Visual Art Teacher has a responsibility to the Head of Primary to model and uphold the purpose and values of the School, both within the classroom and as an active member of the broader school community. In partnership with the Academic Team, the Visual Art Teacher will design and deliver a dynamic and inspiring academic programme that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and the pursuit of excellence, enabling each student to realise their unique potential.
As part of the Primary School, the Visual Art Teacher plays a crucial role in the holistic development of students.

Lessons will be designed to encourage curiosity, problem-solving, and innovation while building confidence in both individual and collaborative artistic practice.
Through their passion, expertise, and commitment, the Primary School Visual Art Teacher will inspire students to discover their artistic voice, to take risks in their learning, and to recognise the value of creativity as an essential part of their personal and academic growth.
