Are you a passionate and inspirational Music Teacher looking for a rewarding opportunity in a high-achieving secondary school?

We are delighted to be working with a highly regarded, academically successful grammar school in Kent, seeking an enthusiastic Music Teacher to join its vibrant and ambitious department for one day per week, starting immediately and continuing for a full term.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who wants to make a genuine impact in the classroom while working with motivated, talented and curious young people.

About the Role

As a Music Teacher, you will teach Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 Music, delivering engaging, challenging and practical lessons that inspire students to develop their musical understanding, creativity and confidence.

Music at the school is a highly practical subject, with students learning through an exciting combination of listening, performing and composing. The curriculum explores a wonderfully diverse range of musical styles and traditions, including popular music, film music, blues, reggae, hip hop, Indian classical music, Baroque music and the development of music technology.

At Key Stage 4, students develop their skills through areas including film music, popular music and world rhythms, alongside ongoing performance and composition work.

You will have the opportunity to encourage students to become confident musicians, challenge their thinking and help them develop their skills across performance, composition and musical analysis.

Why This Opportunity?

This is much more than simply covering a timetable for a day a week.

You will be joining a happy, purposeful and vibrant school community with exceptionally high academic standards and a strong commitment to both academic excellence and personal success.

The school places students at the heart of everything it does and is committed to developing confident, caring, curious and ambitious young people. Its three core values - Curiosity, Courage and Compassion - underpin the wider culture of the school.

A genuinely practical and creative approach to Music
Students who are encouraged to think hard, take intellectual risks and develop independence
