Teacher of Music and Drama

Teacher of Music and Drama.

Tes is currently supporting a friendly and supportive academy, based in East Riding of Yorkshire. The school is looking to add a Teacher of Music and Drama to its progressive and supportive Department ideally starting in September 2021.

The role will include teaching and coordinating the delivery of Music and Drama at KS3 and GCSE across year groups 7 to 11.  You will support the Head of Performing Arts to enhance provision and will get the chance to get involved with exciting project work throughout the year. Project work will include revising schemes of work and ensuring the curriculum is engaging to all learners alongside projects that support student attainment, well-being and engagement within the wider school. You’ll also lead by example, supporting learners to achieve to the best of their ability and you’ll enjoy that great feeling when your learners achieve grades beyond their dreams.

“We are on a journey of rapid improvement and are currently ranked as the 2nd highest performing school in East Riding and 3rd out of 55 similar schools nationally.  Despite the recent improvements we are not ready to stop developing and improving.  Our aim is to be ranked and recognised amongst the top schools in the North of England.

With close to 1000 pupils aged between 11 and 16 housed in a mix of modern and traditional buildings, the academy is a busy and vibrant place with great access and an exciting future. There is significant development and investment on the horizon with the announcement of major multinational companies bringing significant funding to the area.  One example of this is the arrival of a £200million Siemens Mobility project developing a brand new train manufacturing plant and supply chain rail village.

We have an exciting teaching opportunity and are looking for an outstanding, committed and motivated teacher to contribute to the development of teaching and learning and curriculum in our Music and Drama department.  This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious and proven classroom practitioner who can display a real passion for developing and inspiring the pupils in their care.”
