Job description

Are you a music teacher, innovator and revolutionary with a passion to ignite a lifelong love of music in children of all ages? Frensham Heights has a rare opportunity to recruit a Head of Music to join our unique and progressive community. 

We are a progressive school, redefining traditional education and fostering a vibrant community of learners. The non-uniform and first name culture is the tip of the iceberg of the Frensham experience. We are a ‘Rights Respecting’ school with an unrivalled passion and reputation for the visual and Creative Arts. We seek a visionary Head of Music to lead our dynamic department, from the playful explorations of our youngest musicians to the electrifying performances of our seasoned ensembles. 

This is not your average music role. You will shape a curriculum that ignites curiosity, fosters collaboration, and pushes boundaries. The music school is a purpose-built hub with outstanding facilities, including a recital room, recording studio, classroom and practice room spaces. During social times, it is alive with students practising their various instruments or preparing for the vast array of performances we celebrate throughout the academic year. The successful applicant will be a maestro, mentor and cheerleader, nurturing young talent and celebrating their unique musical voices and interests.  

If you are ready to:

Spark musical curiosity with students across our community (ages 3-18 years) 

Design and deliver an innovative, age-appropriate curriculum including GCSE Music, A- level Music and RSL courses.  

Lead a passionate music team and cultivate a thriving department. 

Orchestrate unforgettable musical productions, concerts and performances. 

Lead a talented and enthusiastic group of peripatetic teachers to deliver outstanding lessons with staff.  

We would like to hear from you!
