What skills and experience we're looking for
We’re looking for an excellent classroom teacher who wants to have a significant impact on music and drama and on the extra-curricular life of the school. The successful candidate must have a passion for performance and a desire to help run existing performing arts clubs as well as develop new clubs based on your skillset and the students’ interests. We run vocational courses in Performing Arts and Music at Key Stage 4, therefore knowledge of the BTEC curriculum and assessment would be an asset. Evidence of successful teaching at GCSE would also be desirable, as we also currently have students sitting GCSE music.
This is a superb opportunity for an imaginative and aspirational teacher to join an established, successful and forward-thinking team. The timetable is 50% music and 50% drama, so if you are interested in teaching either music or drama on a part time basis, then we may consider your application as part of a job share.

The successful candidate will work in a supportive school where students achieve and make sustained progress as a result of our ‘can do’ ethos.If successful, we offer you the opportunity to work with a highly-motivated group of students and colleagues, where your contribution to the Performing Arts team and the school as a whole, will be valued. Working in a friendly school community, we invite you to join us in our commitment to inspire every student with the skills, resilience, independence and confidence they need to achieve their potential. As a school, we have an extensive CPD programme to support you in your career. We also provide all our staff with a laptop computer.
Excellent learning and teaching is at the heart of all that we do and is supported with a full professional development programme and outstanding induction programme.
