Thank you for your interest in the position of Head of Music at Wirral Grammar School for Boys. We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Head of Music who recognises the positive impact that grammar schools have, will advocate our school values and contribute to the wider educational development of our students.
Music is a driving force at WGSB. The subject and its associated groups, choirs, ensembles and bands help to support and showcase the talent of our students. We support over 15 peripatetic music staff who offer a range of traditional and contemporary music.
We present a range of events from intimate acoustic singer-songwriter evenings to full-to-the rafters concerts for audiences of hundreds at locations like the Tung Theatre in Liverpool. This is a great time to drive our next steps.
The attached application pack will help you to not only understand the post, which is being advertised, but also give you a sense of life at Wirral Grammar School for Boys. There are over 1000 students on site. Our planned admission number increased from 155 to 170 in Year 7 in September 2024, and we recruit students into the Sixth Form, WGSB6 from other local schools and further afield. From September 2025, we will be working in partnership with Wirral Grammar School for Girls in the Sixth Form.
If you are interested in this position, it is important that you share our school values and the vision of providing the best quality education for bright young people across the Wirral, regardless of their background.
