Further details about the role
Music is part of our Performing Arts team, working alongside Drama. There are two music teachers, each with a specialist room and adjacent practice rooms. The team is support by an Arts Technician. In years 7-9, students receive three hours of music teaching each fortnight and there is consistently one GCSE group each year. The extra-curricular offer is core to the school’s culture with activities such as Musical Theatre, Ukulele Club and Clarinet Choir adding to the diversity of opportunity. The ability to provide piano accompaniment for concerts and GCSE performances and a working knowledge of music technology (currently Sibelius and Cubase) would both be desirable, but not essential.

Gillotts is a school that takes great pride in its unique identity. It is one of four mixed 11-16 schools in south-east Oxfordshire and occupies a 33 acre site on the edge of Henley-on-Thames. Its 900 students come from Henley and the surrounding villages. The site incorporates a Victorian house as well as extensive grounds, both of which contribute to the school’s special character. As a high-performing school, Gillotts places innovation in teaching and learning at the heart of its development. However, more than this, the school is developing its thinking and practices to ensure that each student’s experience of the school is tailored to his or her needs. At the centre of this is the tutoring system, which puts each child in a group of about twenty students of mixed age. The tutors monitor the academic progress of each of their tutees, and work with them to develop their learning skills.
