Part-time (1-3 days a week)

Required for September 2023 (an earlier start date will be considered for the right candidate)

Would you like the opportunity to work as part of a team of highly experienced and ambitious colleagues? Graveney is an extremely popular and successful 11-18 school, situated in South West London, SW17 with the benefit of being situated in beautiful campus style surroundings with excellent facilities and a warm community atmosphere. We have a commitment to providing the best opportunities to all students and to developing the professional skills and career opportunities of our staff, within a supportive and collaborative environment

 “Top performing local school again, based on an aggregation of the five key accountability measures…” The Times.

We are looking for an exceptional musician and outstanding classroom practitioner to join our successful team of classroom teachers. With the opportunity to teach all three key stages, we are looking for someone with particular enthusiasm for KS3. You will also contribute to our busy extra-curricular programme. Experience of classroom teaching and leading ensembles is highly desirable, but we also welcome applications from strong musicians who may be looking for routes into teaching.

Music at Graveney is exceptional, and is a popular choice at KS4 and KS5 because of the strength and outstanding reputation of the department. Music plays a vital role in the life of the school with a wide range of extra-curricular activities on offer, and regular concerts throughout the year. Several students attend junior music colleges and are members of the LSSO and other London youth music ensembles. Recent leavers have gone on to study music at Oxford, Manchester and York universities, Trinity Laban, Guildhall and contemporary institutions. Instrumental tuition is an essential contributor to the success of the department and is provided to over 450 students by 25 peripatetic teachers.

We welcome applications from both qualified and unqualified teachers.

The successful candidate will be paid in accordance with the national pay arrangements (UQT £24,254 - £35,081, MPS £34,502 - £44,756, spine point according to experience).
