Music Teacher

THE ROLE

We are seeking an excellent musician and teacher to join our music department on a temporary contract from September to December 2022. The music department at Pimlico Academy is a dynamic and exciting place, buzzing with musical activity across any given week. Students have the opportunity to participate in ensembles such as wind band, orchestra, choir, steel pans, jazz band and guitar ensemble, working towards regular concerts across the year. All year 7 students learn an orchestral instrument in addition to their curriculum lesson. We run Eduqas GCSE music and A level music at key stages 4 and 5.

WHO YOU ARE

Ideally, you will play an orchestral instrument (with a preference for woodwind) as well as having good keyboard skills. You will be able to teach across the three key stages, including sharing an A level class. You have the opportunity to run an ensemble and will be encouraged to include your particular skills, experiences and passions in repertoire decisions, both in extra-curricular and classroom practice.

WHO WE ARE

We are part of Future Academies, a Multi-Academy Trust which includes three primary schools and seven secondary schools in and around London and Hertfordshire. We are motivated by a mission of social change and reducing educational inequality. Our school and Trust are unique in our approach to a knowledge-rich curriculum; our school moto is Libertas per cultum (Freedom through education), and in our strong emphasis on raising young people’s aspirations and outcomes through the teaching of classical and traditional subjects. Our children and young people study a bespoke curriculum developed by researchers at our Curriculum Centre, which places a focus on developing their cultural literacy and their awareness of the forces, words and events that have shaped our society today. 

BENEFITS     

• The chance to make a difference to children’s and young people’s lives. Future Academies is of the belief that all children have the right to enriching education through a knowledge-rich and child-centric approach: our teachers can therefore make a dramatic impact on the lives of these children.    
• Fast career progression. Because knowledge and intelligence, rather than length of service, are lauded and rewarded at Future Academies, teachers and support staff can quickly take up great responsibility, adding to their already exceptional experience and knowledge, joining the SLT or writing for the Trust’s Curriculum Centre, where our in-house textbooks are produced.    
• Excellent CPD. The Trust is knowledge-centric and encourages CPD at all levels with excellent opportunities for swift career progression, within the Academy and Trust. This includes Leadership Development opportunities.    
• Knowledge-rich staff team. You will be working with a supportive leadership team, cohesive staff body, and very purposeful environment with excellent resources. Being part of a Trust of schools enables you to share knowledge across a wider range of educational professionals.
