What skills and experience we're looking for
Ivy Education Trust is seeking an outstanding individual with drive, passion, enthusiasm and ambition to lead our Performing Arts department in the next stage of its development. This is an opportunity for an inspirational leader who has strong subject knowledge of music and drama (with music specialism) and who is an outstanding and experienced classroom practitioner across KS3 to KS5 to take our department and student outcomes to the next level.
You will have excellent organisational, planning and communication skills and have high expectations of all students to secure the best outcomes. You believe that all students are capable of success and recognise that success comes in different forms. Driving forward strategic priorities you will ensure there is a robust curriculum and assessment framework in place underpinned by a key focus on developing, promoting and championing the Arts across the school.
As a leader you are inspirational, forward thinking and put students at the heart of everything you do. You are creative, dynamic, empathetic and have a natural ability to lead and empower both students and staff. You hold the highest expectations of yourself, your staff and your students and recognise the importance of the curriculum both inside and outside the classroom, and are innovative in your commitment to both, ensuring that the Arts are always high profile within the school.
Performing Arts plays a critical role in the whole school curriculum and wider opportunities at Teignmouth Community School. The department prides itself in creating an environment where students' passion and drive for the Arts are fostered through engaging and challenging lessons, but also the opportunities for students to perform and develop their skills.
