Director of Performing Arts

We are looking for an ambitious and talented teacher ready to take the next step into curriculum and department leadership. The successful candidate will lead our Music, Drama and Dance departments, leading two specialist colleagues to deliver an ambitious curriculum and outstanding student experiences.

A key aspect of the role is directing our annual whole-school production, involving more than 100 students, four evening performances, four matinees, and a dedicated team of colleagues from across the school. We need someone with the vision, organisational skills and enthusiasm to lead this flagship event while inspiring students to achieve their very best.

The ideal candidate will be an expert and inclusive classroom practitioner with a strong track record of securing excellent outcomes, a passion for the performing arts, and the ability to develop both students and colleagues.

This role is perfect for an ambitious and talented teacher looking to take the next step into curriculum leadership, or an experienced Head of Department looking for a new challenge.

Performing Arts is a cornerstone of school life, based out of our impressive and modern school theatre. Over the past 25 years, we have produced 25 major productions, creating unforgettable experiences for students and our wider community. Recent productions have included Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, with Newsies taking centre stage this year.
