The Foundation has thriving, fully-resourced music departments with over 30 specialist instrumental tutors providing weekly tuition during term time. Pupils are entered for Associated Board and Trinity exams, and many senior pupils study GCSE and A-level music.

The role involves teaching approximately 14 pupils on a 35-minute 1:1 basis, with potential to increase pupil numbers. There may also be opportunities for ensemble coaching for a suitable candidate. Applications are invited from enthusiastic, experienced brass teachers willing to teach from beginner to advanced levels on a self-employed basis. Pupils currently require lessons on cornet, trumpet, French horn, tenor horn, euphonium, and trombone.

The school comprises two adjoining buildings connected by a state-of-the-art Sixth Form Centre, housing the Boys’ and Girls’ Senior Schools, both offering traditional academic education from age 11.
