Ark Secondary Music Programme:

High quality music education is unparalleled in its ability to stimulate personal, emotional and intellectual development, and motivate social change. Given the right opportunities, we know that every child can be a musician, and enjoy improved life chances as a result.

We strongly believe that pupils arrive to Year 7 as creative, talented young musicians and that our responsibility as teachers is to nurture and unlock this further through expert guidance and tuition. We also know that music teachers are often working in small departments, finding themselves needing to balance a myriad of competing priorities. That’s why we have developed the ‘Secondary Music Programme’ (SMP), a shared approach to curriculum and enrichment, designed to help prepare pupils for a life enriched by music and continued study if they wish, whilst supporting, enabling and enhancing the teacher as the professional expert in the classroom.

Through a unique relationship between teachers in Ark schools and previous Secondary Music Specialists, the SMP has become a powerful evidence-meets-practice approach which combines expert research together with classroom practitioner experience. As a network of music teachers, we have seen that there is real strength in working and learning together, and that it is through collaboration and partnership that we can have the greatest impact.

The secondary music programme includes:

A progressive curriculum for KS3 and working to the same exam board at KS4; a common assessment framework with opportunities for moderation A diverse portfolio of Artists in Residence to bring the curriculum to life through connecting the world of professional music with school music departments Enrichment activities and network events designed to support a range of interests Extensive professional development for teachers, middle and senior leaders Clear and accessible pathways for progression for pupils within the classroom and beyond

About the role:

As Network Lead for Secondary Music, you will work across our 39 schools, helping teachers to inspire pupils to participate in, excel at, and enjoy a range of music-making activities within the classroom and beyond.

We are now looking for an exceptional leader and teacher to join our team and help us bring the programme to its next phase. You will work closely alongside the Head of Creative and Extended Curriculum, Primary Music Specialist and Music Programme Manager, to ensure a joined-up approach to music education across the Ark network.
