Leader of Music - Primary

We really value the part that music plays in the life of our school. Are you are a musician who wants to share your passion to energise and excite children? Our investment in music, recognises the part it plays in enhancing both well-being and learning so we are looking for you to bring your ideas and energy to build on what we can achieve together.

 Through music, you will impact positively on the life of the school by:

  • Teaching lessons to whole classes across the school
  • Leading singing with different sized groups from choir to whole school
  • Supporting our musical productions at different times in the school calendar
  • Providing opportunities for children to perform to an audience
  • Providing PPA cover through music teaching for up to 3 days a week, with 2 days PPA cover following the primary curriculum.

We are very fortunate to have a great team of music instructors who teach individual and small group lessons on a whole range of instruments. You will lead this vibrant aspect of provision by promoting opportunities for children, supporting our tutors with timetabling, room allocation and sustaining their best practice.

Our tutors further enhance our music offer through ensembles ranging from orchestra and flute choir to rock school so that we extend our opportunities for children to make music together.

You will benefit from having a really well resourced, dedicated music room with adjacent office – everything you need to bring your ideas and plans to life!

You would be very welcome to come for a visit to both see the school in action, to find out more about this opportunity and to explore whether this could be an exciting career opportunity for you. Please call the school office to arrange a convenient time.
