We are seeking a Teacher of Drama to join an Outstanding school in Surrey from September 2026, working 9 out of 10 days across a 2 week timetable. The drama department consists of four specialist drama teachers and all lessons are taught in the purpose built Creative Arts block, which houses three drama classrooms. Two of these are fully equipped rehearsal studio spaces, with in built stage lighting grids. One of these rooms also has wall to wall mirrors for rehearsal purposes. The third and larger teaching space is The Drum, a highly flexible studio theatre, which is fully equipped with a large lighting grid, sound equipment and blacked out walls. School productions take place in the main school hall, which has excellent lighting and sound facilities.
All students in Year 7 and Year 8 have two hours of drama lessons every two weeks. During this time, students cover a wide range of theatre genres, as well as exploring relevant social issues which affect their lives. In Year 9 students who select to continue drama have three hours of drama every two weeks, and start to develop their understanding of the key skills required if they continue on to GCSE drama. GCSE drama students have five lessons of drama every two weeks, and A level drama students have nine lessons of drama every two weeks. Both follow the Edexcel syllabus.
There is a big focus on extra curricular drama. This includes Year 7 drama clubs which is run at lunch time, a sixth form drama group after school and, currently, a musical production for Years 7 to 13.
