The Saltash Performing Arts Team offers a curriculum incorporating both Music and Drama, as well as a rich and diverse variety of extra-curricular activities. We have strong links with local organisations and a proud history of exciting school shows and events. Students therefore are offered a wide range of opportunities to take part in the Performing Arts in a variety of roles. Our staff are passionate about their subjects and this is an exciting time for the school and for the Performing Arts team, as we continue to refine and improve our curriculum offer from Year 7 right through to Year 13.
Our team places strong emphasis on developing each student’s full potential. We have a good uptake for both Drama and Music at GCSE and we are one of the few schools offering music A Level in the area. We have always put our students at the heart of our teaching and we aim to develop the whole child through our subject areas, not only supporting them to excel in the arts though a varied curriculum and extra-curricular activities but in the key skills that can take them into employment and making a positive contribution to our community. We are seeking to appoint an innovative team leader to grow and expand our Performing Arts provision, especially critical as we rebuild after the pandemic.
We have a dedicated Drama Studio, Music room and a suite of practice rooms. Our music curriculum covers music theory and notation, popular music, World music, as well as opportunities to learn a range of musical instruments; whilst our drama curriculum tackles challenging topics that students explore practically, such as immigration, homelessness and Shakespeare. The Performing Arts Department enables students to build their cultural capital, opening a world to the Arts, whilst building team work, empathy and motivation.
Job (S) We have two exciting teaching opportunities and are looking for outstanding, committed and motivated Music (and Music with Drama) teachers to contribute to the teaching, learning and curriculum, both in classrooms and extra-curricular in our Performing Arts Department. If you feel you have the ability to instil a love and passion for the arts and develop our young people into excellent Performance Artists and all the key skills for the wider world that go with our creative subjects then this is the role for you. This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious and proven classroom practitioner who can display a real passion for developing and inspiring the students in their care.
The successful candidate would also be expected to make contributions to our very popular and busy extra-curricular schedule, which includes whole school musical productions as well as showcases, concerts, smaller examination performances and various clubs and weekly activities. We would certainly welcome new and exciting ideas in these areas.
This is an exciting opportunity for an outstanding teacher, with a specialism in Music and Drama, to join and contribute to the continued success of a committed and enthusiastic Performing Arts Faculty.
If you:
- are committed to enabling every student to achieve the very best they can
- have a passion for the Performing Arts.
- can raise attainment in Music and Drama through outstanding teaching and learning
- are excited to become involved in the broad extra-curricular activities at the school, including leading clubs and activities and taking key roles within production teams for school production, showcases, concerts and events.
