MPS (£32,407 - £43,193) UPS (£ 44,687 - £48,055)

Part-time option available

Required for January 2024 or earlier if available.

We are looking for a musician with energy and enthusiasm to join a collegiate and ambitious department. All our classroom teachers are active performing musicians and composers, with a diverse range of musical interests. Academic music provision throughout the school is strong, reflected in strong and growing uptake and results, particularly at sixth form level, with 10 students in the current Y13, and 18 in the current Y12. At KS3, we benefit from class sizes of 16 in years 7 and 8, and 9, which allows bespoke teaching, tailored to student needs.

We have an excellent team of visiting teachers across all instruments and voice, and a range of junior and senior instrumental and vocal ensembles rehearse each week, including junior, senior and chamber choirs, junior and senior jazz bands, ukulele and guitar ensembles, and numerous smaller groups, several of which are student led.

Recent extra-curricular highlights include the Jazz Band’s performance at the Orchard Theatre (June 2022), Fauré’s Requiem (November 2022), the Candlelit Carol Service (December 2022), Beauty and the Beast Production (March 2023), alongside an array of formal and informal concerts. Plans are in place for a music tour during the Academic Year 2023/24. Take a look at our linktr.ee/csgsmusic to get a flavour of our musical output.

Our facilities include one very large classroom, where rehearsals can take place, a further smaller classroom, a music technology classroom and recording studio, which have recently been upgraded with new iMacs, running Logic Pro, as well as four further rooms for practice/instrumental and office space.

The precise balance of the teaching and extra-curricular commitment will be tailored to the strengths and experience of the successful candidate. The teaching load will be initially be likely to focus on KS3, but with KS4/5 music teaching available for those with suitable experience. There is also the opportunity to contribute to the teaching of A-level music technology for suitably experienced candidates, but this is not essential.

In return, we can offer you:

•         Enthusiastic, able and well-behaved students

•         Modern teaching environment

•         A Level teaching

•         Competitive pay and pension scheme

•         Tailored induction programme

•         Bluesky professional development scheme with the possibility of funding for additional qualifications.

• Cycle to work scheme

• Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme

• Discounted gym membership
