Music Teacher

Required for April / September 2025

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain experience in your teaching career in a well led and supportive faculty.  Little Ilford is a friendly, inclusive and oversubscribed school in Newham making a big difference to the lives of our diverse student community. In October 2016, we moved into a brand new state-of-the-art building. We have a strong reputation and high expectations of both students and staff and consider this to be an exciting place to work and develop, where creativity and innovation are nurtured. Our targets for attainment and progress are challenging, but staff have the focus and determination to realise them for the benefit of our students.  We really know our students, and focus on them as individuals.  Pastoral systems are strong and we value a curriculum offer and activities that educate the whole child. 

As a school we are absolutely committed to ensuring that all staff have access to comprehensive professional development and have developed an exciting and impactful programme designed to offer training that makes a real difference.  We value a good home/work balance and do what we can to support our staff in this respect. 

We are looking for a committed, enthusiastic and high calibre teacher who has exceptional subject knowledge in music to join our energetic and dynamic team.  You will ensure that the quality of teaching and learning in your classroom is outstanding, keeping up to date with curricular developments and helping to ensure that the subject is popular and successful within the option choices.  You will engage and inspire our students in the subject allowing them to make outstanding progress and achieve strong results. Extra-curricular activity will be very important to you, so that as many students as possible benefit from the wider opportunities that music can give. Our school is very committed to the arts, and you will be an important part of our success in this area.

We will support and develop you to become an outstanding teacher and provide working partnership opportunities with other schools and departments.  We are an aspirational, reflective and creative learning community where all adults are learners who take risks in order to achieve excellent results for our students. 

Please note -the school is currently undergoing an expansion and staff may be expected to teach a second subject.

We look forward to your application.
