Detail

Required from: September 2024

Contract term: Permanent

Hours: Full Time

Salary: ECT/PL1/PL2

The role:

Northwood College has a great opportunity available for a Textiles Teacher to join our leading academic day school and to be part of an exceptionally creative, warm and supportive community. We are looking for candidates who have the drive and motivation to contribute to the development of our growing department.

The ability to teach Textiles: Art and Design at GCSE and A Level is essential.

The Department:

In Textiles pupils develop creative and practical techniques and technical knowledge preparing them to participate in a world of rapidly changing creative arts and technologies. They learn to be creative and imaginative in solving problems, developing invaluable life skills. At both GCSE and A level we follow the Art and Design: Textile Design AQA Examination Board. Year on year grades have been outstanding in this subject.

About the School:

Northwood College for Girls is an independent, academically selective day school for approximately 880 girls aged 3-18. At NWC, we value character and academic rigour equally. Our curriculum ignites intellectual curiosity and fosters emotional intelligence, building resilience through challenge. An NWC education enables every girl to lead a purposeful life and feel successful in their learning.

Both pupils and staff are encouraged to find and develop their passions and talents, through clubs, societies and an extensive programme of CPD. All members of the NWC community are expected to act with compassion and integrity, with respect for others and the environment and an awareness of global responsibility.

Everyone is equally valued in our NWC family and our dynamic young women are proud of their school. Looking after one another and rejoicing in one another’s successes comes second nature to a NWC girl as does her ‘can-do’ attitude and drive.

NWC is at an exhilarating moment in its evolution, with a dynamic and ambitious Senior Leadership Team and a range of new developments (including a Sixth Form Centre and the Alvarium science building). The successful candidate will be similarly ambitious for the school and ready to make an impact in our vibrant learning community.
