Job overview
Teacher of Music required for one day per week (0.2 FTE), one-year contract (with prospect of being made permanent).
We are looking for a dynamic music teacher who will help ensure that music becomes a routine feature of the culture of our school. Our whole-school curriculum model holds both music and the performing arts more generally in high esteem, and we consider them to be essential components of a broad, rich and diverse curriculum. We have recently made a considerable investment in one-to-one instrumental music tuition for every student in our current year 7 cohort (in partnership with the Havering Music School), with a view to embedding the experience and practice of music amongst our student body. This investment is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
We want to recruit a bright and enthusiastic colleague who can help plan and invest in our new model and ensure that the department grows to embody a key aspect of our curriculum.
This is an exciting time to be joining Hornchurch High School. We have recently received a considerable investment in terms of materials and new buildings, which opened February 2020. We hope to mirror the expansion of our accommodation with an increase in staffing over the coming months and years. We were inspected by Ofsted in 2019 and secured a ‘good’ judgement. Our results have improved consecutively in the years immediately preceding the Covid pandemic (and in the awarding of CAGs in 2020 and 2021).
We offer excellent training, exciting links with other school partners and provide opportunities for personal development. We have a vibrant work place with friendly, supportive colleagues and an excellent work/life balance. Both ECTs and experienced teachers are welcome to apply.
We are an aged 11-16 mixed comprehensive with good pupils, supportive parents and an excellent staff. We welcome visits to the school and if you would like to arrange a tour please contact Ann Tyler on 01708 691441 or email atyler@hornchurchhigh.com. If you have subject-related questions contact our Head of Music, Grace Warren, at gwarren@hornchurchhigh.com
