Job overview
We are seeking to appoint an exceptional and inspirational Teacher of Music who will continue to build on the strong tradition and reputation of Music at Mayfield.
Music plays an important part in the life of the School. In addition to academic music, almost half of our girls receive instrumental tuition or are involved in School music. Our Schola Cantorum is highly renowned and has recently performed at Westminster Abbey and Cathedral, and St Paul’s Cathedral. The School hosts the biennial Mayfield Festival and the Tunbridge Wells International Young Concert Artists Competition. We are proud of the number of girls who go on to study or be involved in music at university.
As well as being a personable, dynamic and accomplished musician, the successful candidate will have experience teaching across KS3, KS4 and KS5, and will be enthusiastic about helping develop the extra-curricular provision of the Department. This position would suit an NQT, but applications are welcome from more experienced teachers.
Mayfield is a leading Catholic Independent boarding and day School for girls aged 11-18 situated in the beautiful East Sussex countryside, less than 50 miles from London and 40 minutes from Gatwick.

The School has a tradition of academic achievement with impressive GCSE and A Level results, a vibrant and eclectic extra-curricular provision and an enviable reputation for pastoral care.
We offer excellent working conditions in an outstanding environment, as well as a competitive salary package. All staff are expected to contribute to the extra-curricular life of the School and accommodation may be available.

About Mayfield School
At Mayfield School we aim to educate the student’s mind, soul, heart and body in partnership with parents, so that each individual may develop: inner confidence, an unshakeable framework of spiritual values, strong moral principles, a deep capacity for compassion, and the knowledge, intellectual curiosity and training to continue learning throughout life; the confidence to become what they want to be, but make that self just what our Lord wants it to be.
We believe that our boarding experience is one of our strongest assets – it stimulates lifelong friendships and family loyalty to the school. It strengthens our work hard, play hard ethos. Our community is a temporary home for about half of our students and it prepares girls for independent life at university and beyond.
Our extra curricular activities programme is designed to compliment and support the girls’ curriculum studies and enhance the boarding experience. By combining their academic studies with creative and physical activities outside of the school day, girls learn to balance their activities with their studies and give equal commitment to both.
