We are seeking an outstanding Music teacher to join our highly successful Performing Arts Faculty.
The Music Department at Shireland Collegiate Academy is extremely well resourced, including a Mac suite with 15 state of the art Macs, recording studio and numerous practice rooms with high quality rock and pop instruments, including whole class sets of acoustic guitars and ukuleles. We also have an excellent theatre for performances. We enjoy an excellent relationship with the Sandwell Music and Arts Service who provide instrumental tuition and some classroom support and have a growing relationship with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. We run a variety of after-school clubs and ensembles, and students regularly access the department at break and lunch times. Students who wish to learn an instrument can apply to be part of our Music Scholarship programme. Currently over 60 students access this provision, on a range of both contemporary and classical instruments.
The department is part of the Performing Arts Faculty and works closely alongside Dance and Drama to allow students the opportunity to access all areas of the Performing Arts. In Key Stage 4, from September 2022, students study the BTEC Technical Award in Music. In KS5 they complete the RSL Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma for Music Practitioners, which has achieved outstanding results in the last few years.
The Academy’s strong staff development focus makes this an ideal post for teachers wishing to develop their career.
