We are looking for a passionate Music Teacher or Head of Music and are eager to meet committed and ambitious teachers.
We have been redefining what is possible for our staff, pupils and the wider community. In doing so, we have established a ground breaking strings programme, where every child in Year 3 - Year 6 (260 pupils) receives all equipment, weekly music tuition and in Year 5 and Year 6, receives weekly Orchestra Practice as part of our Strings Programme.

Our visionary approach to music is all about levelling the playing field and has provided opportunities for our pupils to perform at the iconic Royal Albert Hall. The successful candidate will also be expected to be a violinist, lead the Choir, possibly lead small group ensembles and support or even conduct our year group orchestras (60 pupils in each orchestra).

We hope you can see that our school is unique and naturally, this role is unique too. We will therefore shape the role and responsibilities around the strengths and career plans of the successful candidate.

We are looking for:
• highly ambitious individuals
• an individual who is relentless in their pursuit to be the best they can be
• a reflective individual who has the ability to learn from feedback and a hunger to constantly improve and develop
• a teacher or leader who will go the extra mile, above and beyond, with a smile, to help make a real difference
• a teacher or leader with a genuine passion and a belief in the potential of every child, particularly children often let down by the system
• an innovative teacher or leader who is able to suggest, implement, refine and upscale new ideas

In return, we offer:
• you the opportunity to work with exceptional leaders who will have a transformational impact on your effectiveness
• a school committed to achieving a healthy work / life balance, for example all teachers receive 18% release time (equivalent to two half days out of class)
• a largely planned and prepared curriculum and a very well-resourced school on an impressive site, which includes; a large EYFS outdoor area, multiple playgrounds, a school field and dedicated classrooms for music, food technology as well as a library and multiple small group rooms
• a high spec staff Chromebook (we are a Google school)
• a school smart phone
• a free fresh coffee bean to cup machine for staff
We would very much like to hear from you if you share our vision, values and enthusiasm!

If you are interested in this opportunity, interviews & lesson observations can be arranged immediately!!

We are dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to share this commitment. You will have a safeguarding responsibility if appointed.
The successful candidate will be subject to enhanced clearance through the Disclosure and Barring Service and employment will be subject to references.
