This is an exceptional opportunity to lead on all aspects of musical life in one of the largest co-educational boarding and day schools in the UK. The investment in our Music Department continues to be central to the School Development Plan. A new Prep Music Centre opens in January 2022, following the success of the Years 3 & 4 Music Scheme. In 2020, the School built a large outdoor auditorium, part of a recent £3.5m investment in the performing arts. The Prep Divisions have recently expanded to 3-form entry and we have record Sixth Form numbers. New Hall musicians have gone on to study Music at Oxbridge and performance at conservatoires.

The Director of Music will be required to teach Music to GCSE and A Level. The successful candidate will be responsible for the liturgical music that is at the heart of New Hall Catholic life.

About New Hall School
.jpg%3Fprofile%3Dh-320&w=1080&q=75)
New Hall is a Catholic independent boarding & day school for girls and boys aged 1-18. New Hall School operates the highly successful ‘diamond model’, where students are educated in co-educational classes from ages 1 to 11 and at Sixth Form. However, from ages 11 to 16 they are taught in single-sex lessons. Click on one of the four diamonds below to find out more about our divisions.
The main benefits of the ‘diamond model’ and five years of single-sex teaching, derive from the ability to tailor pastoral and academic provision more sensitively and expertly to the needs of young people going through the physical, emotional and social upheaval of adolescence. Young teenagers are liberated from the negative peer pressure of having to perform in mixed classes. The gender stereotyping of subjects is also removed. Girls and boys follow an identical curriculum and do not learn to perceive subjects as being more suited to either girls or boys.
The Sixth Form experience at New Hall is about expanding students’ horizons, both in their specialist areas of study and, more generally, in terms of their personal development.
From the moment New Hall students first travel up the mile-long, tree-lined avenue that leads to the grand façade of the former Tudor palace, they will be given individual opportunities to grow, learn, be challenged and to develop into confident young men and women. New Hall is set in an idyllic and convenient location, on the outskirts of the City of Chelmsford, Essex, just 30 minutes by train from London and within easy reach of all major London airports.
As a Catholic independent boarding & day school, at New Hall with every student we aim to educate the whole person: academically, creatively and socially, in a community which also nurtures the spiritual dimensions of human life.
