Teacher of Art & Design

About Us

East Lane Primary School is housed in a new and purpose-built £14 million building with exceptional resources and is located adjacent to Wembley High. This provides our children with an ‘all-through’ experience of outstanding schools. East Lane Primary School is a 3 form-entry school with pupils from Reception through to Year 6. Our results to date for Early Years, Phonics and KS1 have been amongst the highest in Brent and significantly above the national averages and we are looking to continue our success as the school continues to be exceptional. East lane Primary School has attained outstanding status under the new Ofsted Framework.

The Teaching Role

Our curricular structure is different to many other primary schools; the school is based around subjects with specialist teachers providing expert subject knowledge to ensure pupils’ progress is exceptional. In Key Stage 2 our staff tend to mainly teach their specialist subjects and we believe this allows our pupils to greatly deepen their knowledge and understanding of key areas and this fully prepares them for their transition to secondary school. We are seeking a professional that has a strong passion for art and will be an art advocate; has a working knowledge of a range of art tools and skills; is willing to teach a highly creative curriculum where children can build on previously learnt skills and knowledge. As an Art and Design specialist you will be teaching mainly Art and Design to pupils in the school and contribute to the planning and delivery of teaching across the school. You may also have the opportunity to teach other subjects in the school. Visits to the school are highly encouraged, as are early applications.

Why Join Us?

We welcome applications from qualified teachers and NQTs, as well as those who wish to train to teach. All teachers at East Lane Primary School receive a comprehensive, structured training programme, delivered by highly trained mentors and bespoke to the individual’s needs. As part of the WMAT we also have the Teaching School Hub for Brent, Barnet and Enfield which is based at WHTC. You can undertake NPQ’s with us and have the opportunity to develop your experience in the delivery of NPQ’s across a number of schools. If you are keen to develop as an outstanding teacher, enjoy sharing best practice with a community of dedicated peers and believe that all pupils can and should succeed, we would love to hear from you.
