What skills and experience we're looking for
Music has a high profile at the school and there is
an extensive programme of fifteen extra-curricular activities including several
orchestras, choirs, bands and ensembles.
Concerts are given regularly, both in school and as outreach
opportunities. Choirs and instrumental
groups have toured abroad in Europe and Asia.
Exciting joint projects with the Northern Chamber Orchestra and the
Hallé have taken place and, recently, in conjunction with the Drama and Dance
departments, the musical ‘Matilda’ was successfully staged.
All pupils in Years 7 and 8 study music for three periods per 10-day cycle at key stage three and for two periods per cycle in Year 9, after which, it becomes an option at GCSE and A level. Currently there are 19 pupils studying GCSE and 4 students at A level. In the most recent set of examinations, our A level music students all achieved at least a grade A and all of our GCSE students achieved grades 8 to 9.
The department is well resourced with two teaching rooms, both of which are equipped with 15 Casio keyboards. One of these rooms is also equipped with 15 computers and both Sibelius and Cubase software is installed. In addition there are five practice/teaching rooms where the 14 visiting music staff give individual instrumental lessons. There are currently two other music teachers in addition to the Head of Music.
