Required from January 2024
The Governors wish to appoint an excellent permanent full-time Teacher of Music. The role should appeal to both recently qualified teachers or to more experienced candidates, looking to develop further in an outstanding school. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone wishing to join an outstanding department and a highly successful and forward thinking school.
St Mary’s is a great place to work and provides excellent job satisfaction, as it is a very supportive environment. We provide excellent training for ECTs and recently qualified teachers, as well as on-going training for more experienced teachers. There are opportunities for teachers at all levels to help develop teaching and learning across the school, working collaboratively with teachers from other departments, whether as coaches, researchers or SLEs. The successful candidate will also enjoy many opportunities beyond teaching and learning, in many and varied areas of school life, both within St Mary’s and within the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust. We pride ourselves on offering excellent professional development for our colleagues and the working environment is, therefore, a very stimulating one for all of the staff team and is an added attraction of this post.
St Mary’s is a very popular and happy school, rated Outstanding by the Diocese and Ofsted. We became an academy in 2013 and enjoy outstanding facilities in a new building, which opened in 2011. We joined the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust in June 2020. We are also very popular with parents and are one of the most over-subscribed schools in the North-east. The roll has grown from around 1100 five years ago to almost 1440 by September 2022, with 5 main school year groups of around 240 and a Sixth Form of approximately 260 students. We expect the Sixth Form to continue to grow in the next couple of years, as larger and strongly academic year groups continue to move into Sixth Form.
Leadership, teaching and the climate for learning in the Music department are outstanding, as they are across the whole school. The subject of Music is highly valued in the school and St Mary’s has a vibrant extra-curricular Music offer, providing many exciting opportunities for the successful candidate to be partake in and lead. We would also be delighted to broaden this offer still further, maximising the skills and talents of the successful candidate.
Above all, the Governors wish to appoint a teacher with:-
- A clear commitment to nurturing and promoting the school’s distinctive ethos
- A passion for providing the best possible holistic education for all students
- A commitment to maximising achievement through excellence in teaching and learning
- An excellent track record as a classroom teacher
- The ability to promote a love of learning Music in our students
