We are looking for an inspirational teacher of piano and singing to join our thriving Creative Team. The successful candidate will be an outstanding musician, an effective communicator, and an inspiring teacher. There are many opportunities for pupils to perform in school and part of your role is to inspire them to take up these opportunities and help them prepare.
Saracens High School has a family ethos and is committed to supporting staff in this rewarding job, while recognising the stress it puts upon us. With generous teacher loadings, an on-site gym that is free for staff, the opportunity for colleagues to take family days, and access to a staff counsellor, we do all we can to look after our staff.
With strong ties to the wider Saracens organisation, we base all we do on the values Discipline, Hard Work, Honesty, and Humility and we focus on character development and making memories, as much as outstanding academic attainment. This year, KS4 attainment was in the top 9% nationally, and our contextual value-added will place us signficantly higher.
Our aim is to develop aspirational life-long learners, who will thrive in their chosen career path, embracing our values, and demonstrating a strong moral purpose and a desire to make a positive contribution to society and their local community. (Hear Paul Dix speak about Saracens High School here

The individual abilities of each pupil are recognised and where coaching for life skills, as well as academic excellence, is at the core of all we do.
