About Us

Required from January 2024

Due to retirement we are delighted to be able to advertise for an enthusiastic and dynamic teacher of Art, committed to supporting disadvantaged young people to build their self esteem through achieving at Francis Barber PRU. You will be teaching small groups and pupils on a 1:1 basis in a supportive environment primarily at the Tooting Site. Francis Barber works with groups of pupils who have found it challenging in mainstream schools or who have moved into the borough and are awaiting a school place. 

Francis Barber is a very good PRU with many outstanding features.   We have a wide variety of pupils on roll including pupils who are excluded or dual registered, those undergoing statutory assessment or have an EHCP.  Many of the pupils have faced challenges within mainstream schools. Some continue to be challenging within the PRU but there is a strong staff team helping the young people to manage their behaviour within a supportive and caring school-like environment.

If you enjoy working with young people, have initiative and are a good team player we would welcome your application.  Within this setting there is scope for further leadership opportunities for a highly experienced candidate.  

This post could suit a practising artist.
