What we are looking for
Would you like to be part of an incredible team of teachers who are passionate about inspiring young people? Do you want to help deliver an innovative music curriculum that produces exceptional student outcomes nationally at GCSE and A level? Do you want to help shape top performing music students and be part of a team looking to expand our A level offer by delivering Music Technology alongside our existing course in Music?
We are looking for a teacher to share in our aspirational culture, who can help to deliver the curriculum to the highest standards from KS3 to A level. An ability to teach Music Technology at A level and experience in conducting with small or large ensembles would be very welcome, but not essential.
Our extra-curricular programme includes a vast array of ensembles and opportunities for students: 2 Wind Bands; Symphony Orchestra; String Orchestra; Jazz Band; 2 Big Bands; Saxophone Ensemble; Percussion Ensemble; 2 Chamber Choirs; Folk Ensemble; Guitar Quartet; Guitar Ensemble and a Low Brass Ensemble.
Our department is situated in the Cripps building with several purpose-built music teaching rooms, a large theatre, music technology rooms, a music technician, peripatetic rooms and teachers, all within a fantastic setting that is more indicative of a professional venue. We offer a truly exciting range of CPD opportunities for all teachers and leaders across the school and are wholly committed to investing in the development of our staff at NSB and across the Trust.
