Peripatetic Piano Teacher

St Mary’s Catholic High School is an over-subscribed 11-18 mixed Academy with excellent pupil behaviour and outcomes. Our most recent OFSTED inspection (June 2024) found the school to be Outstanding in all categories, as did our Section 48 Inspection in 2025, and more recently the Sunday Times Schools Guide 2026 named St Mary’s as the Comprehensive School of the Year East Midlands.

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic Peripatetic Piano Teacher on a self-employed basis to join our Music department and support our pupils. The department offers a great number of performance opportunities for developing musicians and encourages participation in the orchestra, and an array of smaller ensembles, and choirs.

The role requires excellent organisation and communication skills, including maintaining lesson records, writing reports and liaising with pupils, parents/carers and colleagues. It is anticipated that you would be required for three days per week (term time only) with the potential to expand this, although it is important to note that this role does not guarantee a minimum number of hours and works on a ‘supply and demand’ arrangement.

The successful candidate will manage their own invoicing and arrangements for lesson payments directly with parents/carers.

St Mary’s Catholic High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and as such expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
