What can an art teacher expect in Cambridge?
Art teachers in Cambridge have world-class collections close to school. The Fitzwilliam Museum, Kettle's Yard and the Heong Gallery are free to visit, and many schools use them for GCSE and A level research and drawing trips.
Art is a popular GCSE choice, and the 11–18 schools and sixth form colleges run A level art, photography and textiles. Departments want teachers who can teach drawing well and guide students through extended portfolios and exams.
Specialists in photography, textiles or 3D design are often in demand, as are art teachers who can support D&T or run after-school clubs.

- Teach drawing, painting, printmaking and mixed media

- Adapt lessons so every student can succeed, including those with SEND
