Job overview
We seek to appoint a highly effective and outstanding drama teacher. A-level Drama and Theatre is a well-established course at the College. Approximately 50 students study A-level Drama at the College and we are confident this will continue to grow. The course follows the AQA specification.
Initially the role will be to teach one group of A-level Drama, however this curriculum area is expanding and there is a likelihood that more teaching in this area will become available. In September 2024, we are introducing BTEC Performing Arts to run alongside our A-levels in Drama and Dance and enhance the performance curriculum we offer. We also offer BTEC Extended Certificate in Digital Music that support the performance culture in the College.
The subject area is managed by a dedicated and hard working Head of Subject who is current examiner for AQA and also has additional responsibility for College performances. College performances has been a highlight of the College year with sell out audiences most recently for ‘Grease’ and ‘Mash Up of the Musicals’. We seek to appoint an individual who will support these events.
This is an exciting role for someone who is enthusiastic and passionate about drama. The drama role is 0.25, however this fraction can be increased if you are able to offer an additional subject such as GCSE or A-level English.
