Are you passionate about The Arts? Do you have the creativity and vision to inspire students and foster a love of the Arts?

Our students are truly exceptional – intelligent, articulate, funny, and welcoming. They value the support and care they receive, and they deserve nothing less than the very best. We are committed to ensuring they experience this consistently, in every aspect of school life, every single day.

We are a true comprehensive school which is built on strong family values, where everyone is seen, recognised and valued. This has led to us becoming one of the most successful and oversubscribed schools in the region. To continue to fulfill our ambitions for our students we need outstanding staff who are dedicated, passionate, dynamic, caring and inspiring. We firmly believe we have a world-class staff team, and we're excited to welcome an outstanding Deputy Head of the Arts to the school.

We are proud of the Arts provision at Baysgarth with Drama, Dance, Music and Art being fully embedded into our curriculum at KS3, with exceptional recruitment  know the importance of these subjects and the richness of skills and opportunities they can bring to students and therefore it is a key foundation of our curriculum.

Due to the diverse nature of subjects that comprise The Arts Faculty, we seek to appoint a deputy lead to work with the current Head of faculty to continue to grow this area. You will have a key role in ensuring that the curriculum remains innovative, with a broad enrichment offer including work experience, ensuring we create the artists, dancers and actors of the future.
