Head of Music (EHTM Girls')

At a time when employers are placing an increasingly high value on creative skills and statistics show that a growing number of young people are experiencing mental health issues, we believe the performing arts have a vital role to play in addressing both areas. Thus, throughout the seven years that the girls are with us at Eaton House The Manor Girls’ School, we strive to offer as much exposure to music, drama and dance as possible.

In doing so, we believe the girls gain a greater understanding of their own cultural identity; they learn to express emotion through an artistic medium; they develop the self-discipline required when rehearsing and the composure in performance; and they feel the wonderful sense of satisfaction when entertaining others. We hope that the joy found in the performing arts will stay with the girls for their rest of their lives.

Our numerous concerts and services are opportunities for the girls’ souls to be lifted through the playing of instruments and the singing of songs. Whether they have been learning for only a few weeks or playing for years, our musicians are regularly encouraged to perform in front of friends and family. With three choirs in The Girls’ School and an additional joint choir with the boys, we are able to be inclusive and yet also produce performances of a remarkably high standard.

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and creative Head of Music to join our team for an immediate start.

There is a ‘sky is the limit’ approach to learning at Eaton House The Manor Girls’ School and all our pupils are encouraged to use their intelligence in a dynamic way to demonstrate quick, reasoned and engaging responses to the world about them.

We treat each girl as an individual so that she can blossom academically and socially. We want each girl to have the confidence to discover where her gifts lie in a calm and purposeful atmosphere, where her spiritual, moral and intellectual development is nurtured.
