This is an excellent opportunity to join a friendly, dynamic Ofsted rated ‘good’ school where all can thrive.  

We are looking for a candidate who has a passion for Music, is innovative and committed to excellence and will enjoy working collaboratively to secure the best possible outcomes for our students.  Music is a highly-valued subject at the College, with consistently strong exam results and a vibrant, wide ranging extra-curricular programme consisting of 15 different groups including four Choirs, two Orchestras and Brass and Jazz Bands. We have a healthy take-up rate for instrumental and vocal lessons, with around 160 students currently receiving tuition in school and over 200 students involved in the various music groups. Our students regularly participate in a wide range of events both in and out of school, including regular workshops and successful competition outings; for example in the last 12 months our College Choir have been finalists at the Enfield Mayor’s Choral Award and Jack Petchy ‘Perfect Pitch’ competitions, as well as winning the St Dominic’s ‘Choir Slam’. The department also runs an annual overseas concert tour for our students which has recently taken us to the Czech Republic, Belgium, France and Holland with a Choir trip to Japan currently planned for 2021.
