This is an exciting opportunity to work in a friendly and supportive school in continuing to drive outstanding outcomes for all our students. We are looking for a suitably qualified temporary Drama teacher to teach across the Key Stages including GCSE.

The successful candidate will be required to deliver and plan for high-quality learning and teaching within the Drama department across all ages and abilities.

Knowledge of the new curriculum will be required as a necessity.

You will have an interest and expertise in the use of ICT as an aid to teaching and learning, and a commitment to enhancing pupil experiences beyond the classroom. This would then complement the skills and expertise of the existing team.
