If you are able to inspire students of all abilities to achieve their highest possible levels of attainment this Music (Drama/English) teaching role within CHAT Academy, is the position you are looking for. We are looking for a dedicated and talented Music (Drama/English) Teacher to help us deliver an outstanding school that is recognised for producing students who can be successful in any social sphere.

You will also contribute to the enrichment, extra-curricular and raising aspirations programmes. We will look to you to participate in our quality assurance and performance management processes as well as promote the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils.

You must possess a relevant degree and a recognised teaching qualification as well as the ability to teach Music (Drama/English) to A level standard. You will be comfortable planning, implementing and evaluating the subject curriculum including appropriate assessment methods. You will be able to demonstrate an understanding of what outstanding education looks like in the classroom as well as the strategies needed to establish consistently high expectations.
