“This is a very happy and caring school. Leaders know pupils and their families well. One pupil, typical of many, described the school as ‘home. ’” (OFSTED 2023; overall grade: OUTSTANDING)
Lilian Baylis Technology School is a mixed, 11-18, inner city school located in a new building at Vauxhall, London. We are a multicultural community school, which serves the local community, and we view this as one of our key strengths. We value the diversity of our school, and strive to ensure that our students feel represented, both at whole school level and within the curriculum.
At KS3 the Creative Arts team has also developed a highly praised decolonised curriculum that is highly engaging, resulting in strong take up levels at Key Stage 4. In particular, the curriculum in Music is diverse and focused on providing students with knowledge and skills across a number of multicultural genres, as well as providing enriching experiences with a range of visits and external workshops to bring about an understanding of music in the wider world context. We also have a number of peripatetic teachers, including for violin, drums, guitar and piano, as well as a vocal coach. These teachers offer lessons to a number of students across both Key stages 4 & 5.
In addition to this, we have outstanding facilities for our students and teachers, including electronic whiteboards and visualisers in all rooms, as well as laptops for all staff. Teachers have their own classroom base for all their lessons and there are plentiful resources for teaching and the curriculum, including a Music classroom, Music practice rooms, a Recording Studio and a dedicate ICT Music suite.
The Creative Arts team has outstanding practitioners who are passionate about both the subject and the students, and we are looking for a well-qualified and enthusiastic colleague to join the team as a Lead Teacher of Music for Key Stage 3 & 4. In particular, we are looking for someone who is able to lead teaching in the subject with a degree of autonomy, further developing the excellent practice in the subject that was graded as “Outstanding” in our 2023 Ofsted Deep Dive of the subject. We offer a highly supportive and committed working environment within a culture of success. Our CPD provision is extensive and follows a research driven approach, which means that our teachers are at the leading edge of professional practice.
