Teacher main scale
Are you a Music teacher who lives and breathes their subject? Do you want to join a large, successful Performing Arts faculty with two experienced Music specialists and a full time technician? We are looking to recruit an energetic, resilient and enthusiastic teacher of Music who is passionate about their subject and inspirational to their students.
We are a friendly, happy, vibrant 11-18 Academy, serving a multi-cultural community, rich with ethnic and linguistic diversity. We have recently completed a £12.5 million refurbishment, including a new purpose built Theatre and Dance studio. The Music Department has 4 specialist classrooms with 25 Apple iMac computers running Logic Studio, Sibelius and Pro tools, 3 practice rooms and a Recording studio.

Pupils in Music consistently achieve well across GCSE, A level and BTEC pathways.
