Thank you for your interest in this post.  Choosing the right school in which to work is a big decision and the aim of this application pack is to provide you with sufficient information to support you in that process.

The Wordsley School is a truly remarkable place.  What makes our school so very special is its culture and ethos. Pupils enjoy coming to school and are successful in their learning, because of the exceptionally high level of care and support that it provides to them on an individual basis and unashamedly, the very high standards that we expect and demand of our pupils in terms of their uniform, behaviour and their commitment to learning.  Having taught and led in a variety of other schools across the country, when I drive to school each day, I know that I am very privileged to be coming to a very special place and in the short section that follows, I hope to elaborate on why.

The unique sense of ‘community’ sets our school aside from any other school that I have worked. As a group of over 60 teachers and 50 additional non-teaching staff, every single adult in the school has a critical part to play in our school and the sense of purpose that underpins everyone’s individual contribution is what makes our working environment so collaborative and supportive. If you decide to apply for a position with us, you will be joining a committed team of staff who make it their business to excite and inspire our pupils, providing them with the very best opportunities to be successful.

Teacher of Music

As Teacher of Music, you will be supported by a Head of Music who will work closely with you. As a former Specialist Music College, our school prides itself on offering a fabulous quality of provision, with very healthy GCSE numbers and exceptional facilities, including a designated ‘Mac-Suite’ comprising twenty Apple desktops, to support our pupils in accessing the very best in music technology. Extra-curricular provision is strong and as a school, we heavily subsidise the cost of music lessons for pupils, in order to encourage them to begin or continue to learn playing a musical instrument or sing, when they join us in Year 7.
