Chipping, United Kingdom The Compton School Full time

Do you want to work in a school that values the arts and provides excellent professional development opportunities?

Music is a successful department at The Compton School and is taught at both KS3 and KS4. At The Compton, the Arts are really valued, andearlier this academic year The Compton was awarded the Artsmark PlatinumAward to recognise the school's excellent provision and continued commitment to delivering a high-quality arts and cultural education for all.Music is taught throughout KS3 rather than on a carousel basis. The two music rooms and six practice rooms are housed within our purpose built arts block. Students work in a purposeful atmosphere and achieve excellent results. The department runs a rich extracurricular programme,often in collaboration with the other arts departments,which includes concerts, festivals, whole school musicals and trips, as well as weekly clubs and ensembles. The previous Head of Music was in post for 17 years, so this is a rare and exciting opportunity for an ambitious Head of Music to build on the strong foundations that have been laid, whilst also bringing their own stamp and perspective.
