Music Teacher (Part-Time)

We are seeking a Music Graduate to join the staff of our unique, friendly and highly regarded IAPS School from September 2024. This role is part-time (2 days per week).

We wish to appoint an inspirational musician with drive and energy who will continue to build on the considerable success of our varied music provision and inspire children to appreciate music in all its forms. You will bring a mix of enjoyment and excellence, in equal measure, to the musical life of the School, working alongside an innovative and highly aspirational music teacher.

I feel so lucky to have been teaching here for… more years than I like to say... I’ve seen some changes, of course, but the important things have stayed the same.
