Head of Faculty for Creative Arts and Technology

Overview

The Governing Board of Acland Burghley School is looking to appoint an exceptional Head of Faculty for Creative Arts and Technology from September 2026.

This is an exceptional professional opportunity for an ambitious school leader who wants to make impact on curriculum and standards in a school where creativity sits at the heart of the strategic vision. All children study dance, drama, music, art and design technology at Key Stage 3, and all of these subjects recruit well at GCSE. We have a broad post 16 offer in collaboration with our partners in the LaSWAP sixth form consortium.

Personal attributes

Our new Head of Faculty will be an experienced middle leader who has the talent and vision to lead strategically. Your skills in supporting and developing other staff, including other middle leaders, as well as your own teaching expertise, will secure excellence in the quality of provision, and drive-up academic outcomes across the faculty.

Integral to success in the role will be a commitment to achieving the highest standards in extra-curricular provision. Our faculty already puts on an annual dance show, art exhibition, a concert, a range of drama productions and several well attended clubs. This extensive offer is profoundly enriched by our orchestra in residence, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, which provides an outstanding additional offer for our students, including extensive work-related opportunities.
