Peri Teacher - Brass

The John Roan School was founded in 1677 and is one of the oldest state schools in the country.  We are an ambitious community school that is committed to working hard and raising achievement for everyone.  With the highest expectations for all of our students, our vision is for students to be the best that they can be, and we know that our role is to provide them with the platform to achieve this.

Our long history brings with it the advantages of being part of the John Roan Foundation and their commitment to enhancing and enriching the experiences of our students, especially those who are disadvantaged, through Music and Sport provision in particular.  We have priority access to the Hope Memorial Residential Centre in the Lake District and extensive playing fields a short drive from the school.  Our parent association is strong, vibrant and focused on increasing parental engagement as well as fund raising for the school.

The John Roan School is a mixed ability co-educational 11 – 18 school set across two sites a short walk apart.  It overlooks Greenwich Park and the Royal Observatory and has excellent transport links connecting it to the City and to neighbouring boroughs.  Partnerships exist with local and national organisations and universities and we are linked to the Don McMath charity that supports the education of children in The Gambia.  

We have a Centre for Autism with 16 commissioned places for students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, a thriving SEND provision and growing numbers of students with English as an Additional Language.

Our staff team is diverse and reflects the multi-cultural student population of the school at all levels.

This is an exciting time to join us.  We joined United Learning in Autumn 2019 and, together with the expertise and support that this brings us, are rapidly improving outcomes for our students.  As we move into the next phase of our school improvement programme, we are looking for someone who shares the belief and passionately believes that all children can achieve, no matter what their starting point, background or needs.

We are looking to appoint a brass teacher who has the ability to work with developing groups of children as part of a big band project . 

The position is for 6 hours in the first instance.
