We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspirational teacher of Music to GCSE level, committed to facilitating high levels of progress and engagement, creating a stimulating and inclusive classroom ethos for all. Applications from teachers at any stage of their career are welcomed. ECTs are welcome to apply, as are keen Musicians who are interested in training to teach.
This is a great opportunity to join our highly skilled and passionate Enrichment Faculty. The successful candidate will have the ability and desire to motivate young people to engage with Music as part of our commitment to strengthening Personal Development and transform life chances. The faculty are on an exciting journey and we are looking for someone who wants to be part of this team and offer opportunities to our young people for musical growth, both inside and outside of the classroom. Our concerts and events are extremely well-supported by pupils, parents, staff and the wider community and this is a hallmark of our increasingly effective Arts provision.
At Langley, we prioritise positive relationships between staff and students. We are incredibly proud of the way our staff and young people work collaboratively to fulfil our school motto ‘to be the best we can be’. Langley is a wonderful place to work and learn. We are a committed, compassionate community united in our mission to being fully inclusive, celebrating diversity and promoting equality in all that we do. Every learner matters and matters equally at Langley.
In our recent Ofsted Inspection Report from March 2023, inspectors described Langley as ‘an inclusive, welcoming school’ where ‘pupils behave well in lessons’ and there is a ‘calm and purposeful atmosphere around the school’.
Our school’s fundamental principles focus on supporting, challenging and inspiring the whole Langley community ‘to be the best that we can be’. But these are not simply words on paper. Students, staff and governors genuinely give all they can, to bring those principles to life every day. Examinations are critically important, of course, and our students achieve superbly well in them, but we truly believe in developing young people to deal with the tests of their lifetime, not merely to endure a lifetime of tests. Everyone who visits us comments on the unique ethos of our school as well as our commitment to inclusivity.

About Langley School
The Langley Purpose
‘To be the best that we can be’
Langley has often been described as a holistic school. Our aim is simple: to support children to become 'the best they can be' and to respect and encourage the talents of all. Certainly we strive for the best possible examination results, we owe our children this; but we want more.
The Langley Vision
We want Langley to be admired and valued for its pioneering pastoral care, innovative curriculum, modern facilities and inclusive forward thinking approach that opens doors and changes lives.
Values and Ethos
Our aim is to encourage all within the school 'to be the best that we can be'. Why is this simple, but over-arching, so central to all we do? This is our core value for a number of reasons.
- So our young people are exceptionally well educated.
- To develop happy, healthy, confident and successful life-long learners.
- To develop cognitive, social and emotional resilience and resourcefulness.
- So our students are prepared not for a life of tests but the tests of life.
- So everyone fulfils their potential, is courteous and considerate to others and supports their community
The respect and affection for children is evident in all who work here and the community benefits from the calibre of and ethos shared by the Langley staff, who freely inspire, support and challenge the children and each other, well beyond the working day.
We value the ways in which our students are supportive, courteous and help them learn to appreciate the importance of appropriate behaviour at all times This ability to form good relationships, to be a caring and contributing member of a community, does not fade when they leave us - Langley students are known for their articulate confidence, their courtesy and maturity.
