Teacher of Music

The Governors wish to appoint an enthusiastic and highly motivated teacher to teach within the Music Department from September 2019. The successful candidate will be joining a thriving department that places an emphasis on learning through the practical application of music.  The uptake at KS4 has grown dramatically in recent years with the school running both Music GCSE and VCERT Music Technology.  As a result, the students have access to impressive ICT facilitates.  The department also boasts a ‘Musician in Residence’ who has established a highly successful and vibrant extra-curricular facility, culminating in the creation of a professional recording studio and a school-based record label.

Applications from new entrants to the profession and experienced teachers are welcomed.
