An exciting opportunity has arisen within our flourishing school, and we are seeking a dynamic and inspirational Curriculum Leader for Art. If you are already a curriculum leader, or are seeking promotion to such a post, this will prove to be an exciting opportunity for you. At the Buckingham School we put our wonderful students at the heart of everything that we do. The Buckingham Way expects staff and students to take responsibility, be reflective and respectful. Above all else, we are kind. The school is embedding its reputation for being ambitious for all learners. We focus on high standards of behaviour and the importance of learning. Our reputation as a great place to work and be educated is growing rapidly. Our Art department focuses on fostering respect, responsibility and creative reflection, through independence and critical thinking. We provide the skills and knowledge for students to express themselves through a range of artistic mediums and seek a new leader to the department who can continue with and further develop this ethos. Experience of teaching Photography would be advantageous. This inclusive and creative ethos provides a welcoming and supportive environment where all students and staff feel valued, respected, and encouraged to learn. A first visit to the school will demonstrate this, and the wealth of future opportunities possible. If you want to join this school, to become a part of a committed team of staff, you will be instrumental in taking our school even further. This is an exciting period to join The Buckingham School; we recently completed £2.5 million pounds of renovation work within the school. As part of this renovation, we have installed four new state‑of‑the‑art science laboratories, taking the total we have to nine. We have seen steady improvement in all areas of the school over the past three years and we will continue in our quest to become the community school of choice within the locality. We are ambitious, oversubscribed and our students are fantastic to work with.
