To start Easter 2025
This post has arisen due to the personal circumstances of our current Curriculum Leader (a Drama teacher).
“Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.”
We are Ideally seeking a visionary leader who will help shape the future curriculum and manage high quality daily experiences for our students. The faculty currently compromises of dance, music and drama. The successful candidate is likely to be a strong classroom practitioner in Drama, however the understanding of (and the ability to teach) music and/or dance would be desirable.
A great opportunity to lead and teach Performing Arts in Shakespeare’s town. We:
