Performing Arts (Music) Teacher

Appleton Academy is an ‘all-through’ school educating children and young people from 3-16 years old. We are proud that we are a community that works together to inspire, nurture and develop one another.  

The secondary phase has approximately 180 pupils in each year group from year 7 to year 11. We have planned a broad, balanced and rich curriculum experience that is designed to inspire enthusiasm for learning, ensure achievement and to support pupil well-being and happiness. It enables us to build strong relationships, celebrate diversity, encourage respect and build a sense of community. It provides and acknowledges success for all children, in all aspects of their development and it recognises, encourages and celebrates all types of talent.   

As a member of the secondary phase you will be joining a strong and supportive team of staff who are driven to ensure that our pupils achieve the highest possible standards. As a school, we all work together. The ability to collaborate and be open to development is essential and we aim to maximise potential within each member of staff.  

Creative arts are an essential part of our curriculum and young people relish the opportunity to express themselves through creative arts and music.  If you are someone who is aspirational, has high standards and is excited about making a difference to the education of all children and young people and you value support and want to be the best teacher that you can be, we would encourage you to apply.
