Teacher of Music in Wormley

A wealth of musical opportunities for all. We seek to appoint a full-time Teacher of Music (part-time considered) to join our flourishing schools, set across two attractive campuses in a beautiful part of rural Surrey. The Music Department aims to enable every pupil, regardless of ability, to experience the highest quality and widest range of music possible. Music is an important and respected part of school life, aiming to bring out the best of all pupils, regardless of ability, through an exciting curriculum.

The department is entering its next phase of expansion as we strive for excellence in music across King Edward's Witley and Barrow Hills Schools. Our aim is to provide a seamless and inspirational educational journey from Nursery through to the Upper Sixth, and this is a pivotal and exciting time to join our community.

The ideal applicant will be an experienced and outstanding musician who will:

• Use their experience, skills and aptitudes to further improve pupils' attainment
• Continue to help raise the profile of music, where standards are already high and numbers are thriving
• Inspire and motivate pupils to achieve and develop their full potential
• Work with the Head of Department to deliver effective, engaging and interesting subject teaching
• Support the School's expectation of excellent educational provision and safeguard and promote the welfare of children

All full-time teachers have responsibility for academic tutoring of around 16 pupils at King Edward's. Part of the tutoring responsibility involves a duty evening in one of the Houses. All full-time staff also play a part in the co-curricular and pastoral life of the School according to their skills and aptitude: at King Edward's, a very wide range of sports, arts, community and other activities is offered in the afternoons and on Saturday mornings. Although there are no lessons on Saturday mornings, the weekend programme is a busy one, and all teaching staff should expect to participate in one way or another.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive group of colleagues and the chance to teach, motivate, and inspire diverse and interesting pupils.

We also offer:

• Job satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment
• Competitive salary
• A pension scheme
• The potential for on-site accommodation at King Edward's at a significantly reduced rental
• Staff fee remission on school fees at King Edward's and Barrow Hills
• Free car parking
• Free use of our gym, swimming pool and sports facilities
• All meals on duty
• A Cycle to Work Scheme

Closing date: Noon on Friday, 28th August 2026. Applications will be considered on receipt, and early application is recommended as we reserve the right to interview and offer the position. Bridewell Schools are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. Please refer to our websites or ask HR for our child protection and rehabilitation of offenders' policy. For shortlisted candidates, we will carry out online and social media searches as part of our due diligence processes.
