Kingstone High School is seeking to appoint an inspirational Teacher of Music to join our Creative Arts Faculty due to the relocation of our current post holder. We strive to make learning music at Kingstone a brilliant and rewarding experience. Music has a central place in the life of the school: both within the KS3 and the KS4 curriculum, where music is offered at GCSE, and in its contribution to extra-curricular activities.

Applications from both ambitious colleagues and ECTs would be most welcome (full induction and mentoring package provided for ECTs). In return, we offer the opportunity to teach fantastic students, as well as a committed and supportive staff team who are keen to develop and learn. There are excellent CPD opportunities to grow and develop through mentorship and coaching.

You will be joining a staff team committed to promoting enjoyment and high achievement for all of our students. Therefore, if you are an enthusiastic classroom practitioner with high expectations and an ability to inspire, enthuse and challenge students to raise standards of achievement at all levels we would like to hear from you.

In return, we offer:

A school with a strong commitment to your professional development

A working environment focused on Teaching and Learning and raising standards for all

The opportunity to work in a staff team where your skills, enthusiasm and hard work will be appreciated

A school where staff wellbeing is a priority
