Teacher of Music

Teacher of Music

Required September/2026

Fixed term one year contract - Full Time

Are you an enthusiastic and creative teacher wanting to teach classes across Key Stages 3 and 4 with the potential for Key Stage 5? Are you excited by the opportunity of continuing to develop a successful and aspirational music department?

We are looking for an engaging and passionate teacher of music whose love of their subject inspires students to reach their musical potential both within and outside of the classroom. The successful candidate will be someone who is both an outstanding classroom practitioner and enthusiastic about playing an active role in the wider life of the school and department, including supporting music concerts, productions and developing extra curricular opportunities. An ability to lead learning in music technology is desirable but not essential.

Sackville is a popular, mixed, 11-18 comprehensive school with 1600 students on roll. We are looking for someone with the skills, enthusiasm, and ambition to join our team and to achieve our ambitious aims for all our students.

We are proud of our friendly and supportive community built on strong relationships which allow every student to thrive. We invest in our staff, enabling them to pass on their knowledge and love of their subject such that our students are given the very best experience and opportunities to succeed. We have acquired a deserved reputation for fighting for every child, to support every student in achieving their full potential and developing a lifelong love of learning.

The music department is a vibrant community within the school, with plenty of existing success but equally plenty of opportunities still to explore - with its combination of excellent resources, engaged student community and ambitious staff team, Sackville is firmly committed to creating a thriving and inclusive department that is central to the life of the wider school.

We welcome applications from experienced colleagues looking for a new challenge in a large and popular school, as well as ECTs looking for a school that will provide excellent support so that you can really flourish at the start of your career. The school has an outstanding induction programme for new staff and bespoke CPD opportunities for career progression.
