The school offers a high uptake of Performing Arts up to KS5, focusing on GCSE Music and A-Level subjects, with no KS3 classes. Despite the large student interest, class sizes are kept smaller, with an additional 2 hours of PPA allocated for classes 10% above the school average.

The school prides itself on fostering a nurturing and supportive environment, encouraging students to pursue their passions beyond traditional academics. They also value staff strengths, offering appropriate TLRs to support professional development.

• Bespoke mentorship programs are offered to ECTs to develop confident, natural leaders, many of whom trained at the school.

• ECTs are encouraged to apply.
• TLRs are available for experienced teachers.
• Full-time, permanent position (no agency work).
• Salary: MPS1 - UPS3 + TLR.
• Location: Redbridge.

Person Specification

• A Music-related degree at 1st Class or 2:1 level - Essential.
• Experience in the music industry is desirable but not required.
• Enthusiastic, passionate, and driven personality.
• Strong communication skills.
