Head of Music

We are looking for a well-qualified, enthusiastic and passionate Head of Music who will be able to lead the department and teach Music at KS3 and KS4.

Music is at the heart of school life. It is a key feature of daily Collective Acts of Worship, services at key points throughout the year and annual performances and musicals. We are looking for an enthusiastic, accomplished musician with the ability to not just deliver high-quality music lessons but also develop our school bands and choir along with our community music programmes.

We have a very distinctive ethos; our motto of "faith + nurture + service" is central to our work, as we aim to keep God at the centre of all we do. This post presents a wonderful opportunity for a talented, passionate and committed teacher and the successful candidate will receive the wholehearted support of a thriving governing body and a highly dedicated staff team. Further support will be received through our excellent working partnerships with Blackburn Diocese and Lancashire County Council.

Our main priorities are to maintain achievement, enhance the curriculum and support our pupils to reach their true potential. You will have the opportunity to teach highly motivated pupils in a school with a national reputation for academic excellence and where there is a wide range of extra-curricular activities in which you can get involved.
