Job overview
We are looking for an efficient, enthusiastic and hard-working individual to join us as a teacher of music.
Caldicot School is an 11-18 co-educational comprehensive serving the local and wider community. The school has over 1400 students and is situated between Chepstow and Newport, with easy access via the M4 corridor and on the northern side of the Severn Estuary.
The school is at an exciting stage in its history. In September 2017, the school moved to a new £36m purpose-built site and now boasts some of the finest facilities in the country. Over the last two and a half years, there has been a significant number of changes at the school which has supported rapid improvements in provision and outcomes. This includes a new staffing structure, with clear career progression routes for staff, as well as a refined curriculum, designed to strengthen knowledge, understanding and skills. This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking school. Our students take part in a broad range of activities that help them become "well-rounded" and the school's commitment to a values-driven education helps shape students to become positive role models in our society.
About the role
The music department at Caldicot School is very popular, consistently delivering high outcomes for students in all key stages. The school boasts outstanding music facilities, which includes a number of peripatetic rooms. With the support of Gwent Music Services, the department provides a range of extra-curricular opportunities for students, at all stages of musical ability. Within the school staffing structure, music is grouped with a number of other subjects (including drama; media; art and physical education) to form the faculty of arts. This is designed to share effective practice in teaching and learning, as well as making explicit curriculum links, where appropriate. While there is a Head of Faculty, responsible for overseeing the work of the team, each subject retains its own head of department who is responsible for the curriculum planning and achievement within the respective team they lead. Therefore, there is strong career development opportunities to support future promotion. All new members of staff receive a very strong programme of induction, which includes an allocated member of staff to support with the operational elements of joining a new school, as well as a tailored support package to meet individual needs. All teaching staff are also issued with a school laptop. The role would suit a newly qualified teacher searching for their first position or an experienced teacher looking for a fresh challenge in a different context. The ability to offer a subject in addition to music is preferable.
Closing date for applications: 6th June 2022 at 12 noon.
