2ic Music

We are a the haberdashers' Trust, made up of nine schools, all based in South-East London. Whilst each of our schools maintains its individuality, we share a common mission: to ensure that every single child and young person in our care is successful at school so that they can flourish and be successful in their lives.

Haberdashers’ Borough Academy is a community school based at the heart of SE1. Our Academy is a wonderful place to learn – where pupils develop their academic scholarship alongside their character, in a world class setting.

Our mission is simple – we want pupils to ‘Become their best at Borough’ in all aspects of their lives. We have the highest aspirations for each young person we work with and strive to help them to fulfil their potential.

Our Academy values, which were created by our young people, speak to that. We expect our learners to become excellent ambassadors for their community, by working hard to achieve their aspirations, whilst becoming kind and resilient citizens.

Our location in the centre of the capital allows us to provide a unique take on the curriculum, making the most of partnerships with world leading organisations which enrich and enhance our offer. In all areas of the curriculum, we aim to ignite a spark which enables our young people to become scholars of their chosen subject disciplines.  

About the role

We believe that every child is a musician, and here at Borough Academy music is a crucial part of all our students’ education and experience. As such, every KS3 student at Borough receives a weekly double music lesson. This includes an innovative Band Project where all students learn instrumental and ensemble skills.

The department relies on its staff to commit to both curricular and extracurricular music to enable as many students as possible to engage and benefit from the joy of making and appreciating a variety of music. This includes choirs and instrumental ensembles as well as an annual musical, which has previously included Joseph, The Lion King, and Little Shop of Horrors.

Alongside this runs our instrumental lessons with a team of high-quality tutors. We are determined that pupils are taught by individuals who are committed to their academic and practical progress and ensure that accessibility and achievement are always aspired to.

We are looking for an individual who understands that all children are entitled to be successful in this critical area of knowledge and skill. Lessons must be well planned and always musical, teaching must be consistently good or better, and marking and feedback must be of a very high quality.

We hope that this brief information, alongside the recruitment details, encourages you to decide to apply to join us in our exciting current phase of development. Should you have any queries or want to come and visit our school, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
