HMC Co-educational Day School
(1100 pupils aged 3 - 18)
DIRECTOR OF MUSIC
We seek to appoint a creative and inspirational Director of Music for September 2025 who has the ambition to continue to strengthen the School's musical reputation in the local area and beyond, the experience to ensure that pupils have the highest levels of academic teaching and the confidence and creativity to provide rich and varied extracurricular opportunities.
The successful candidate will lead the department including the current team of staff and VMTs. Whilst the Director of Music's primary responsibility is providing a curricular and extracurricular musical programme for the Senior School (Years 7- 13), the role also involves overseeing the progression of music across the whole school, working closely with the Head of Prep Music. A desire to embrace partnership projects within the community is an important part of the Director of Music role.
