Job overview
Temporary Head of Drama (Full Time)
We are seeking to appoint an inspiring, well-qualified, passionate and innovative Temporary Head of Drama who will be able to sustain the School’s already outstanding reputation for Drama, Theatre Studies and Performing Arts; collaborating with colleagues from across the school e.g. Music, Dance, and Art/Design. GCSE Drama (AQA specification) is a popular option choice.
The post is to cover a period of maternity leave from September 2018 and lasting for at least 1½ terms; however, if the candidate was able to, he/she could start earlier e.g. May 2018 so that an appropriate hand-over could take place.
Appropriate involvement with after-school rehearsals and productions is expected, but whether he/she takes overall responsibility for the prestigious production in the Senior School, which is always one of the highlights of the school year, can be discussed.
In both parts of the School, you would be expected to promote a positive and safe learning environment whilst recognising and responding to the individual needs of pupils.
At Abbot’s Hill, we promote collaborative and practical learning, nurturing the unique talents of each pupil, giving them the chance to develop their potential to the full, within a happy and caring environment and we take pride in developing ambitious, bright and confident young people.
The successful candidate will have:
● The ability to be flexible whilst working with young people
● High expectations by being a role model
● The ability to work with the minimum of supervision but within a greater team
● The ability to promote good behaviour within a classroom environment

About Abbot's Hill School
Abbot’s Hill is an all through, inclusive independent day school with the Nursery, Prep and Senior Schools on the same site. We welcome boys and girls in our Nursery and girls from 3-16 years.
Set in 76 acres of rolling Hertfordshire parkland with far reaching views across the Gade Valley, the school benefits from an open, expansive environment in which our pupils learn, explore and play. Pupils flourish here: the surroundings afford a safe-haven for discovery and experimentation while the energy and opportunity of London is only a stone’s throw away.
Founded over 100 years ago to educate young women of character, the school places great value on the development of the individual. Those girls lucky enough to come here will leave as confident, ambitious and creative individuals.
The ISI Inspection in January 2020 acknowledged Abbot’s Hill as ‘excellent’ in both the academic and personal development of the pupils – the highest judgement possible.
