Join us in Providing a Great Education for Every Child

CSET is committed to equal opportunities and encourages applicants from all backgrounds and communities, as we recognise the importance and benefit this has for our students.

Mangotsfield School is excited to be recruiting for a part-time (0.8 FTE) Music Teacher to join us on a permanent contract from April 2023. We would welcome and encourage those who are ECTs or early in their career to contact us, as well as those with more experience, as this is an excellent opportunity to join a committed team and well resourced department in a rapidly improving school.

About Us

Mangotsfield School has been recognised by Ofsted as a “rapidly improving, community focused, ambitious school.” In March 2022 we were awarded Good in all categories, a testament to the vision and dedication of the leadership and teaching body.

Mangotsfield School has a strong ethos built on our four values. In all aspects of school life we encourage students to love learning, embrace challenge, give and earn respect and grow our community. Our classrooms, our corridors, our systems are built on these values and this supports our culture where we can meet individual needs and close the gaps for our students.

Mangotsfield School is a local secondary school firmly rooted in, and proudly working within, the community which it serves and inspires. The school is situated in pleasant semi-rural surroundings on the north-eastern outskirts of Bristol. Mangotsfield School became an academy as part of the Castle School Education Trust in September 2015 and works in partnership with Downend School to deliver 16-19 opportunities for all students. We are committed to the professional development of all staff.

We can offer you:

• Commitment to CPD and development of all staff
• Commitment to inclusivity and fostering of diversity
• Values and vision that are lived not laminated
• Open and honest culture
