We aim to inspire students to explore sound, master skills, and make music that matters. We have worked over the past year to develop a new outstanding Music curriculum for all year groups. We teach KS3 for one hour per week, which leads into exam classes in year 10 and 11, where we follow the GCSE Eduqas Music specification.
We offer a full spectrum of Music enrichment after school, culminating in a number of performance evenings and events, and our students are enthusiastic about the subject, the students have access to Music tutoring for all year groups, specifically to support with their final GCSE performances.
Music and Drama is what creates our Performing Arts Department, and collaboration across our team of staff is crucial. As well as support from the Head of Department, you will also be supported by the Trust’s Director and have the opportunity to share practice with academies across the Trust.
Responsibilities
The Teacher is expected to implement and use a wide range of teaching and learning strategies within the classroom, applying techniques like Assessment for Learning (AfL) to continually improve student performance. A core duty involves effectively using student level data to identify areas for development and raise standards.
This professional must be aware of strategies available for improving the learning and achievement of all students, alongside possessing a good understanding of curriculum developments within their specific subject area. The role requires maintaining high expectations for all students and effectively communicating with students and their parents, both orally and in writing.

Required experience includes recent and relevant teaching experience (either in employment or training) and experience of assessment at Key Stage 3 and 4.
