Job overview

Teacher of Music from September 2018 


Prince William School is a vibrant and friendly 11-18 school (1100 students on roll) located in Oundle, within easy commutable distance from Peterborough, Stamford, Wellingborough, Huntingdon and Corby.


We are excited to offer this fantastic opportunity for a talented and creative teacher of music to join our supportive team from September 2018. The successful applicant will be passionate about music and have the drive to be part of a forward thinking department, focused on developing exciting and engaging learning experiences. You will benefit from the support of a well-established and very able music department, with the opportunity to teach A level, if desired. Applications are welcome from both newly qualified and more experienced teachers; the ability to offer a second subject would be advantageous but is not essential. 


We have incredible students at Prince William. We are passionate about providing them with the best possible education and we place them at the heart of everything we do. Our students are well behaved, happy, engaging, and inquisitive individuals, and they are very proud to be Prince William Students; they have high aspirations and look to all our staff to guide them on that journey.  Equally impressive are our staff who work tirelessly to achieve our excellent results and to help each student truly achieve their best.  We are extremely proud to have such wonderful colleagues and grateful for the life chances they are giving our young people.


We see the investment in our staff as crucial as we look to build on previous successes for our students and the school. The successful candidate will be given tailored career progression opportunities and continued investment from a caring senior management team who are keen to support staff to develop both personally and professionally.  If an NQT is appointed, they will benefit from the support of a mentor who is a maths teacher, as well as the supervision of a member of the Senior Leadership team with responsibility for Teaching and Learning.


You will be joining the school at an exciting time as examination results across the whole school at both A level and GCSE have seen rapid improvement and the school is expanding. In 2017, 70% achieved grade 4+ in both English and Maths, 49% achieved grade 5+ in both English and Maths, and our Progress 8 score was +0.36, putting the school in the top 19% of schools nationally for progress.  At A level, 55% attained A* - B and the proportion of students achieving AAB or better was 19%.   


We welcome applications from colleagues who want to be part of a positive and successful team in this very exciting time for the school.


The successful candidate will:

• be an enthusiastic teacher who inspires students to learn,

• be committed to delivering high-quality lessons for students of all abilities,

• be passionate about the importance of the teaching of music, and

• have a sense of humour!


We offer:


• a committed and supportive team,

• superb career development opportunities,

• students with good attitudes to learning and a desire to learn,

• a personalised approach to CPD,

• a caring and approachable senior management team, and if needed

• an onsite nursery run by a private company.



If you are a committed teacher who shares our passion for educating motivated and enthusiastic students, we would love to hear from you.

Welcome to Prince William School. We are passionate about learning and providing a wide range of experiences for our young people to prepare them for the world beyond school. Our vision is to create an innovative learning environment which has all staff and students learning, developing and delivers the highest of expectations from ourselves and from each other.

At Prince William School we focus upon success. Success for learning. Success in competition. Success in our personal aims. This focus means that we achieve success in many areas including: school results, Duke of Edinburgh Awards, nationally recognised musicians, winning district, county and national sporting events and through being frequent competitors in activities such as the Economics literary papers judged at Eton, and the East Northants “Dragons Den” Competition. We also learn that although we aim to succeed, there are times when we might not. The key is to dust ourselves off and tackle the next challenge with the aim of succeeding next time.

We encourage our young people to ‘Learning for Life’ through the setting of aspirational targets, recognising success in its many guises, through celebrations and in developing and promoting student leadership to encourage future students to do even better.

Our excellent year teams link the need to support young people through any difficulties and challenges in order to overcome barriers to learning and ensure the core purpose of learning and achievement is not forgotten.
