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

Music at Graveney is exceptional, and 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. Instrumental tuition is an essential contributor to the success of the department and is provided to over 450 students by 25 peripatetic teachers. Several students attend junior music colleges and are members of the NYO, LSSO and other youth music ensembles. Recent leavers have gone on to study music at Oxford, Manchester, Birmingham and York universities, Trinity Laban, Guildhall, as well as contemporary music institutions.

We are looking for an exceptional musician and outstanding classroom practitioner to join our team. You will teach across all three key stages, and contribute to our busy extra-curricular programme. Experience of classroom teaching and leading ensembles is essential, and strong keyboard skills are highly desirable.

Applications are welcome from both experienced teachers and ECTs. 

This is a part-time position for 2 days per week for a Fixed term period to Academic Year End 2026 

There is also a possible TLR available within the department for a candidate with suitable experience.

You will become part of a dynamic, fun and friendly team who have built up a reputation of high quality music throughout the local community.
