Summary

Are you an inspiring and creative Dance Teacher looking for your next opportunity?
Do you want to work in a thriving, high-achieving school where the arts are truly valued?

We're proud to be working with a top 15 secondary school in Hampshire, located in Fareham, known for its exceptional academic standards, supportive environment, and strong commitment to creativity and student well-being.

The school is seeking a dedicated Dance Teacher to cover a one-year maternity leave from January 2026. This full-time position is perfect for a passionate teacher eager to contribute to a high-performing department with a fantastic reputation for excellence in the Arts.

Final-year trainee teachers will also be considered, particularly those who may be available part-time from January, moving to full-time from March/April for the remainder of the academic year.

As a Dance Teacher, you'll be responsible for:


- Delivering engaging and inspiring Dance lessons across KS3 and KS4
- Planning and assessing lessons in line with departmental schemes of work
- Encouraging creativity, self-expression, and teamwork in every class
- Supporting school performances, productions, and extra-curricular activities
- Collaborating with colleagues to share best practice and uphold high standards of teaching and learning

You'll have the opportunity to make a real impact - not only by helping students achieve academic success but also by fostering confidence, creativity, and passion for performance.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a school that celebrates creativity and supports its staff. You can expect:
- A supportive and forward-thinking Performing Arts department
- Polite, motivated students with above-average attainment
- Excellent facilities, including a modern dance studio and performance spaces
- A school culture that values innovation, well-being, and collaboration
- Ongoing professional development and mentoring opportunities
- A strong ECT induction programme, ideal for early-career teachers
- Convenient location with easy access to the M27 and public transport

The school's leadership encourages collaboration, creativity, and professional growth, making it a rewarding environment for both experienced and newly qualified teachers.

To be successful in this role, you'll need:
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or be working towards it (final-year trainees welcome)
- Experience teaching Dance at KS3 and KS4
- A genuine passion for performing arts and student engagement
- Strong organisation, communication, and classroom management skills

If you're an energetic and inspiring Dance Teacher who wants to join a vibrant, high-performing school where your creativity will be celebrated - we'd love to hear from you.
