Teacher of Photography

Rochdale Sixth Form College (RSFC) opened in 2010 to address the significant underachievement in A Level performance in the borough. Since then, it has raised achievement in the area dramatically and is recognised nationally as a centre of excellence. The college is rated Ofsted outstanding and, is consistently ranked as one of the highest performing colleges in the country according to the DfE's performance tables and national achievement rate tables.

Due to the expansion and increase in student numbers we are looking for a Teacher of Photography. The Art department, and Creative Arts subject area in general, is outstanding. Last year the Art department achieved an ALPS 2 with 90% of students receiving A*- B; the department has consistently achieved ALPS 3 for the last 4 years. The Art department is in an exceptional Creative Arts area with Drama achieving an ALPS 1 and Music an ALPS 3, providing the opportunity to work and gain support from outstanding teachers.

Following on from continued growth in Art, the college is looking to introduce A-level Photography, with an emphasis on traditional and contemporary photographic based skills. The teacher will be delivering solely to year 12 in the first year whilst planning year 13 and conducting liaison workshops with local schools.

You will be joining RSFC at a very exciting time in its development and there are always opportunities for career progression for hardworking and resilient colleagues.
