Ely, United Kingdom Kings Ely Full time

**About the School**

King’s Ely can trace its origins from at least 970AD, making it one of the oldest schools in Europe. Originally a monastic foundation and then a grammar school by Royal Charter, today it is a thriving independent day and boarding school for around 1000 boys and girls aged from 2-18, offering a broad range of GCSEs and A-levels and from which almost all pupils go on to good universities in the UK and abroad. Most students are day pupils from Ely, Cambridge and the surrounding area, and there are also about 200 boarders with over 40 nationalities represented overall.

The School is subdivided into three sections: King’s Ely Senior (age 13-18) and King’s Ely Preparatory (age 7-13), which occupy adjacent campuses and shared facilities, and King’s Ely Acremont and Nursery (ages 2-6) which has its own self-contained campus about 400m from the main site.

The main campus extends to around 70 acres in total and comprises several historic buildings adjacent to Ely Cathedral as well as more recent, purpose-built facilities spanning the thirteenth to the twenty-first centuries, and almost 40 acres of playing fields.

King’s prides itself on being an academic school but not an academic hothouse. There is a great emphasis on personal development through an extensive co-curriculum of sporting, creative and performing arts and service opportunities as well as through building positive relationships with others in a tight-knit but outward-facing community. The safety, wellbeing and pastoral care of the whole community is central in what is a happy and purposeful school where our diversity and breadth of talent and ability is valued and nurtured.

King’s Ely also plays a key role in the local community. The School is one of Ely’s largest employers and also educates the boy and girl choristers of Ely Cathedral. King’s is also a proud founder member of the Cambridgeshire Educational Partnership, which numbers twelve local schools working together to improve educational attainment, especially for disadvantaged children. The School also offers a number of bursaries to enable pupils from all walks of life to benefit from the education it offers.

King’s Ely is a registered charity administered by a Board of Governors. The Principal is a member of HMC and the School is also affiliated to the Society of Heads, IAPS, the Boarding Schools’ Association and the Choir Schools’ Association.

**The Music Department**

The co-curricular music scene at King’s Ely sees our students thriving and buzzing in the Performing Arts quad. Over a third of pupils throughout the school learn a musical instrument or receive vocal tuition and the quality, range and variety of ensembles all attest to the school’s musical pedigree. There are regular student-led and professional concerts, workshops and masterclasses, all of which, together with the excellence of our cathedral choirs, highlight how music is at the heart of the King’s Ely community and testify to its inclusivity.

The Chapel Choir comprises around 80 singers and regularly performs and tours alongside the King’s Barbers, a fabulous close harmony group made up of ex-choristers. Large instrumental groups such as the King’s Orchestra, Concert Band and Jazz Band perform in large scale charity concerts in the Recital Hall or Hayward Theatre, as well as joining with local community groups to perform at fetes and Summer events. Our Chamber Choir recently collaborated with the choir of Selwyn College, Cambridge, for a spectacular celebratory Evensong, and next year the re-founded Choral Society and Orchestra will take to the stage at West Road Concert Hall in Cambridge. Pupils, Old Eleans, parents, staff and members of the public with a King’s Ely link will all be very welcome in this bold and exciting venture.

The opportunity for Chamber Musicians is also great. There are numerous string, woodwind, brass, percussion, guitar and rock groups, all of which rehearse on a regular basis with a talented and dedicated team of music professionals.

**Overall Job Purpose**

The Music Department Administrator is based in a dedicated office within the Gibson Music School reception. They are responsible for administration within both Senior and Prep School Music Departments. The Senior Music Department, with over 500 individual lessons each week given by 40 teachers, will represent the majority of the regular work. He/she reports to the Director of Music.
