Job overview
Required for September 2020 to join a dynamic and highly successful faculty:
TEACHER OF MUSIC (Temporary for 1 year)
Salary negotiable within the range £24,373 - £40,490
This is an exciting opportunity for a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher to work in a successful and well-resourced department to teach Music across the age and ability ranges to A Level. Familiarity with recent developments in Music Technology would be an advantage but is not essential, as would an interest in other Performing Arts.
Of greater importance is the drive and enthusiasm to inspire groups of students of all musical abilities and to enhance the school’s already well-established reputation for extra-curricular music, with a wide range of orchestras, choirs, bands and ensembles, containing talented musicians.
The school has excellent facilities for the performing arts with a modern Music and Drama block.
Applications from experienced, recently qualified and newly qualified teachers welcomed.
Alsager is one of the highest performing schools in Cheshire East with children of all abilities making impressive progress throughout the key stages. In 2019 79% of students achieved Grades 9 – 4 in GCSE English and Maths, with 87% achieving 9-4 in GCSE Music and 57% achieving 9-7. In addition, our school’s Progress 8 score is an impressive +0.22, putting us in the top 25% of schools nationally. 100% of students achieved Grades A-C in A Level Music.
