The school currently has a vacancy for a peripatetic teacher to teach one-to-one and small group violin lessons and contribute to our extra-curricular programme.
We are looking for an outstanding candidate with:
- Experience and expertise in one-to-one and small-group violin/viola teaching.
- The ability to take the lead on one or more of our extra-curricular classes.
- The ability to inspire young people from a range of different contexts and backgrounds to high-quality music-making.
- The ability to collaborate with the rest of the music team to maximise student progress.
- The ability to teach beginner cello is desirable but not essential.
Our girls love music and enjoy making the most of opportunities to perform in concerts throughout the year both in school and around London. The music department has recently moved into brand-new facilities on site offering students access to high-quality music making. We also work closely with Newham Music Service as well as our partner schools in the Newham Community Schools Trust. Students are very keen to learn and develop their violin skills and our strings programme has really progressed in the last year with many string players participating in our latest concert. We are looking for someone who can continue to inspire our students and raise their standards of musicianship.
Our school values ‘Be Proud, Aim High, Work Hard, Be Kind, No Excuses’ are at the centre of everything we do to ensure students learn, achieve and enjoy school.
We are proud to be accredited with Investors in People Gold in recognition of the value we place on staff wellbeing and development.
We encourage all staff to be committed to their own professional development and pride ourselves on designing a programme of professional learning that supports everyone to improve their practice and develop their leadership skills.
We particularly welcome applications from suitably qualified colleagues who reflect the diversity of our student population.
Our GCSE examination results are consistently very good, and Ofsted described our students as 'quite rightly very proud of their school and their own excellent achievements’ (Ofsted February 2018).

Closing date: 9.00am on Thursday 7 July 2022
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
