We are looking for an outstanding Singing Teacher to join our thriving Music Department, within a highly successful girls’ school.
The role
The successful candidate will be an outstanding musician, an effective communicator, and an inspiring teacher, able to teach singing from beginner to post-grade-8 standard.
You will teach individual pupils throughout the Senior School age range (Year 7-13). Depending on the interests and skills of the appointee, there may also be opportunities to lead choirs and to coach and take part in school performances.
You will be engaged on a self-employed basis, term time only. You will be responsible for creating your own timetable, in line with school guidelines, to ensure weekly lessons of 35 minutes are taught to your pupils. The number of pupils will vary due to demand but is likely initially to be between half and one day per week.
The school
Oxford High School is a high-achieving selective girls’ day school. The Music Department is popular and active, with approximately 250 individual music lessons per week delivered by nearly 30 visiting music teachers at the Senior School. There is a linked Prep School at a nearby site, which also has an active and successful Music Department; some Music staff work across both sites. The department offers a broad range of ensembles, from beginner to advanced level. The senior ensembles regularly perform in prestigious venues around Oxford. Practical and academic exam results are exceptionally strong; our most advanced pupils frequently gain places in national ensembles, and a number pass diplomas before they leave the school.
