Icknield Community College has a vacancy for an Art Technician to work on Fridays (7 hours), term time only.

This role would be well suited to someone with a passion for the arts and an interest in supporting students’ creativity, as well as the smooth running of our Art and Design Department.

The successful candidate will be a committed team player, able to work independently, and confident in providing practical and creative support to both staff and students.

We will offer our successful candidate a school which:

• Exists to serve its students and both support and challenge its staff

• Is on an upward trajectory and excited about its future

In December 2024, Ofsted inspected our school and concluded that: 

• Staff are effusive about working in the school and value its mindful approach to workload
• Pupils are proud to be members of this ambitious and friendly school.
• Pupils value the warm and respectful relationships they have with staff.
• Pupils’ behaviour is calm and orderly.

 In March 2025, the Sunday Times reported Icknield Community College to be the happiest secondary school in Oxfordshire. In the Ofsted Parent View survey, 98% of parents said that they would recommend the school to another parent. We believe that our Ofsted report describes the school accurately and are pleased with the comments in it.
