Job Summary

QE Teacher Scales

Introduction:

Queen Ethelburga’s is set in more than 220 acres of beautiful North Yorkshire countryside, on the Thorpe Underwood Estate. Staff work as one team – whether they are directly teaching or supporting students as part of the school and pastoral teams, or as part of our estates team making sure that the campus works as it should – to create a vibrant learning and living environment in which every student can thrive. We aspire to excellence, have high expectations of ourselves and others, and take pride in everything we do. We aim to nurture resilient, confident, and independent lifelong learners. The Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate Standard is ‘To be the best that I can with the gifts that I have’.


Job Purpose


The postholder will provide outstanding teaching, maintaining the high standards of the Collegiate. This job description is written at a specific time and is subject to change as the demands of the Collegiate and the role develops. The role requires flexibility and adaptability and the employees of the Collegiate need to be aware that they may be asked to perform tasks and be given responsibilities not detailed in this job description.


The Creative Arts Department


The Creative Arts Department at Queen Ethelburga’s combines the skills and resources of our Art, 3D Design, Dance, Drama and Music staffing and facilities, to offer a fantastic learning experience and a range of subject routes that go beyond the traditional subject choices.


Art & Design


Students are introduced to art very early in the school and are encouraged to explore their creativity through a range of 2D and 3D media and to experiment with analogue and digital approaches to realising their artistic intentions.


Through Key Stage 2/3 these skills are developed through a wide range of stimulating tasks and, because of the experience, many students choose to continue to GCSE level study and beyond.


A large range of well-equipped rooms staffed by experts in their specialist areas offer routes through fashion, fine art, photography and 3D craft allowing students to choose from many different areas of focus from sculpture and painting to architecture and jewellery. They have the freedom to explore their creativity in accommodation that is inspirational and well-resourced, and the work produced, which is often award winning, adorns the corridors around the school inspiring the next generation of artists and designers.
