We wish to appoint a specialist teacher of music for an exciting position, teaching music and leading co-curricular provision in the department. Our music department plays a pivotal part in the life of the school and has an excellent reputation.  Large numbers of pupils are involved in musical ensembles, bands and choirs, and we have a strong tradition of high quality concerts and award-winning productions, in collaboration with our drama department.

AKS Lytham is a friendly school from Nursery to Sixth Form, committed to achieving the highest of standards in all aspects of its educational provision. It has recently achieved the best independent school GCSE and A level results in Lancashire, award winning art, drama and music, truly inclusive sport, and one of the most successful Duke of Edinburgh Award programmes in the county. AKS Lytham provides high standards of teaching, outstanding pastoral care, and a wide co-curricular programme, in a magnificent and historic building with a stunning aspect over the Ribble Estuary and Irish Sea. Formed from the merger of Arnold and KEQMS in 2012, our school has over 300 years of respective heritage. Our pupils are highly motivated, hardworking, well-mannered and a pleasure to teach. Indeed, one of the most enjoyable aspects of teaching at the school - and one often commented on by new members of staff - is the happy and respectful relationship between teachers and pupils.

AKS has recently become full global members of Round Square https://www.roundsquare.org with 180 school in 50 countries. We seek to use these new relationships to expand internal educational opportunities across the curriculum.

AKS Lytham is part of United Learning, a large and growing group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England. Schools within United Learning work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. By collecting expertise and combining resources, we help to make the tough job of teaching a little easier. With a shared curriculum and lesson plans from around the group available to all, our teachers have strong foundations to lead the engaging, rounded education our children deserve. Our intranet site, United Hub, is just one example of how we share this resource and communicate across sites, helping to simplify processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance. We reward our staff: with wide career opportunities – between Primary and Secondary, Academy and Independent – better pay, benefits, and ultimately the satisfaction of helping every child at each of our schools to succeed and reach their full potential.
