Director of Music

This is no ordinary role. The music department is at the forefront of our pioneering approach to education. Our students study an innovative curriculum combining an academic education with vocational training in creative and performing arts. Their achievements testify to our success, as do our alumni, a number of whom are now household names. Sponsored by the British Record Industry Trust, we provide a sophisticated learning environment with superb facilities including an industry standard recording studio.

We look to the future. If we stand still, we will let students down. This means anticipating need, challenging standards and responding quickly to the rapidly evolving context of employment and education. We are ambitious to improve. In music, we have successfully focused on pop, rock, folk, soul and so much more; not only do we want to maintain our reputation in these genres, but expand into new ones, whilst taking the quality of performance and musicianship to new levels.

As our new Director of Music, you will bring an outstanding track record of success and a level of confidence that will allow you to quickly establish your reputation both within and outside the school. Alongside this, you will bring passion, inspiration, a team ethic and a commitment to the highest standards. In return we offer an opportunity to work with students with extraordinary talents and colleagues who are tirelessly committed. Together, we will strive to give students the skills and confidence to fulfil their dreams and aspirations, whatever they may be.
