Teacher of Art

We are currently looking to appoint a dedicated and inspiring part-time (0.3) Teacher of Art on a fixed-term contract from September 2026 to August 2027.

At Harris Westminster Sixth Form, you will join a dedicated team of teachers and staff supporting our excellent students. If you are looking for an opportunity to grow, inspire and develop, this may be the role for you.

Our school is one of the top sixth forms in the country, with the aim to deliver high quality education and outstanding outcomes to students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. HWSF is selective on both ability and disadvantage and places first go to academically able students from disadvantaged backgrounds. It is a wonderful school with an ethos of “learning is amazing”, where staff truly care about the progress their students make over their two years with us.

We are based in the heart of Westminster, and work in collaboration with the Harris Federation and Westminster School. Our location gives us many benefits; we hold our assemblies in St Margaret's Church and Westminster Abbey, and we offer students weekly lectures from visiting speakers.

Interviews for this role will take place when suitable applications are received, so you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

The successful candidate will have:

• Successful experience teaching A Level Art at Sixth Form level (can be teaching practice).
• Understanding of theory and practice of effective teaching and learning.
• Understanding of how the most-able students learn.
• Understanding of the importance of having high expectations for all students, both of behaviour and academic achievement.
• Understanding of inclusive provision and practices which offer equality of access to the curriculum for all students, including special educational needs and English as an additional language.
• Knowledge and experience of writing lesson plans, developing resources and assessing students' work.
• Understanding the importance of being a Tutor.
