Summary

We are seeking to appoint a dedicated and inspirational Head of Instrumental Music within a flagship department in this top independent school. The School has a long-standing record of high academic achievement (94.6% of A-level and Pre-U entries gained A* to B/D1-M1 grades in 2023). There is also much happening in terms of co-curricular activities, and all staff are expected to be fully involved in School life.

The postholder will contribute actively to the strong culture of excellent Music in the school, communicating their own love of Music across the community and will be expected to support the Director of Music and assist in the development of short, medium and long term strategic plans for the co-curricular activities of the Music Department.
