Job overview
The Stamford Endowed Schools are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, inspirational and enthusiastic Teacher of Drama to work with the department on a part-time basis.
Teaching for all students takes place in practical and classroom spaces to suit the varying demands of the courses. In 2014 we opened the Llowarch Performing Arts Centre which houses an impressive black box studio theatre and other specialist drama rooms to teach across all year levels. In addition, we also have the use of our fully-equipped performance venues The Birkbeck and Ancaster Studios as well as the use of the school halls at both sites. We have costume and prop stores which help support curriculum classes and small plays.
In addition to the curriculum subject work, the department is also heavily involved in producing highly successful plays and performances through a range of different venues. Currently we are responsible for two full-scale productions a year, with a range of other smaller scale performance work that ensures a varied programme is available for all students at every year level. Recent past productions have included Beauty and the Beast, The Demon Headmaster, Grimm Tales, The 39 Steps, Frankenstein, Legally Blonde and A Christmas Carol. The department is constantly seeking to raise the profile of Drama with the students through a variety of activities from the House Drama Competition to backstage crew work, community outreach projects, a range of theatre trips and other performance events linked to our curriculum and extra-curricular work.

The Schools are part of the great heritage of Stamford and a symbol of its vibrancy and evolution. The Schools have been established in Stamford since 1532, providing a first class education for children. Today the Schools remain interwoven with Stamford life, to which our students, teachers and parents contribute greatly. At Stamford we have one simple and overriding aim, that is to inspire our students and light fires within them.
The schools educate 1650 pupils at the Stamford Junior School for children aged 2-11, Stamford School for students aged 11-16, and Stamford Sixth Form for students aged 16-18.
This is a really exciting time to be joining the School as after nearly 500 years as a boys’ school and 200 years as a girls’ school, we have joined together as a fully co-educational school. This restructure is giving us the opportunity to look at all aspects of school life with fresh eyes, and we are looking at everything from how we provide the best possible pastoral care to how we shape the timetable, how we make best use of our estate, to how AI can support classroom learning. It is a big change, but a once in a generation opportunity to really set up the School for the next hundred years.
After this positive change, stamfordians will still be able to leave here poised for success in the real world - quietly confident, kind, positive, hardworking, unassuming and resilient. We are independent schools nurturing independent minds.
"I love the idea of preparing our kids from the school room to the boardroom in the 21st century, wherever that boardroom is in a rainforest in Brazil or as a CEO or working with a charity in India. Just as we have a big responsibility, so will they. I want them not just to be content to live in the world but to change it. Exciting!”
Principal, Will Phelan
