We are looking for a music teacher to teach class music to children aged 3 to 7 years of age and possibly to assist the school’s Head of Music with the school orchestra and ensemble groups.

The standard of music at the school is very high, with almost all children learning a musical instrument. The school also employs a large team of peripatetic teachers.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher with the highest expectations to take the next step in their career. You will have the strong support of colleagues and the benefit of working in a well-resourced school. The job is fun and professionally rewarding.
