Here at Outwood Academy Hasland Hall the Drama department thrives on a welcoming and vibrant culture of creativity and student expression, allowing students to develop confidence, communication and performance skills. Drama is highly valued and a flourishing subject across the academy, boasting particularly strong engagement and high uptake among our Key Stage 4 students. The Department is situated in a distinctive listed building set within a beautiful leafy green school site. The combination of historic character and a welcoming teaching space provides students with a calm and supportive setting in which to develop. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate educator to join a department where student enthusiasm for the performing arts is already established and ready to be taken to the next level, using ambitious outcomes, which leads to thorough subject knowledge and sustained progress for all students.

The role requires maintaining high expectations for all students and effectively communicating with students and their parents, both orally and in writing.
