- Collaborate with colleagues to contribute to the school's wider cultural and extracurricular activities.
- Maintain accurate records of student progress and provide feedback to students, parents, and senior staff.
The Successful Candidate Will Have:
- A strong background in music, with teaching experience in a secondary school setting (preferred but not required).
- The ability to engage and motivate students of varying abilities and backgrounds.
- Excellent communication and organisational skills.
- A commitment to maintaining high standards of teaching and safeguarding practices.
- Flexibility and adaptability to work effectively within a large school environment.
- A valid enhanced DBS check (or willingness to obtain one).
