About the Role
Your role as teacher of music will be to inspire a love of learning in our students and develop their creativity and resilience through great teaching and a strong enrichment programme. You will teach both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. At Key Stage 3 every student has an hour of music a week. We concentrate on creativity and our classrooms are taught in the round, rather than with desks, to allow full creative input. Our schemes of work are varied and develop the key skills of melody, pitch, harmony and rhythm. Music technology runs throughout our KS3 curriculum, readying students for KS4. We have a music class at KS4 every year and this is growing in numbers, a testament to the strength of our KS3 curriculum.
Further details about the role
Mangotsfield School has been recognised by Ofsted as a “rapidly improving, community focused, ambitious school.” In March 2022 we were awarded Good in all categories, a testament to the vision and dedication of the leadership and teaching body.
Mangotsfield School has a strong ethos built on our four values. In all aspects of school life we encourage students to love learning, embrace challenge, give and earn respect and grow our community. Our classrooms, our corridors, our systems are built on these values and this supports our culture where we can meet individual needs and close the gaps for our students.
The arts are an essential part of our school identity. We were delighted to be awarded a silver award in the Artsmark last year and we are now going for platinum. As a music teacher, you would be central in delivering this pledge to our students. Our drive for the platinum Artsmark is centred on student leadership and celebration of the diversity of our community and the country.

Everything at Mangotsfield School is based around its school
values driven by Headteacher, Hetty Blackmore. Having first
joined the school as a newly qualified teacher when she was
23 years old and returned to lead it later in her career, she is
very proud of the journey the school is on.
Mangotsfield School is proud to serve its community and has
been part of the local community since 1957. They have just
celebrated being rated as a ‘Good’ school by Ofsted (visit
March 2022).
There are wonderful resources and facilities on site, allowing
students to embrace curricular and extra-curricular
challenges from DT, art, dance, drama and a climbing wall to
name a few. There is a lot of open space, which is green and
calm. And this sense of calm is echoed in the school itself.
The school has a proud sporting history and teams have
travelled as far as Wembley to take part in national
competitions. The school is also on a mission to broaden
horizons with many co-curricular trips taking place, such as a
Year 7 trip to Slimbridge Wetlands for art research and a
Year 8 trip to Tyntesfield House to explore gothic horror
within the English curriculum.
