The community provides a purposeful learning environment for both students and staff, stressing the importance of creativity, independence, celebration and empathy.

We are seeking to appoint an outstanding music teacher who can play the piano to a reasonable standard and who is enthusiastic to sing with all classes to join our outstanding Creative Arts Faculty.

Exam results in the Music Department are Outstanding but we are keen for music to be expanded further as we have a wealth of talent within the Creative Arts faculty.
