Teacher of Music

Teacher of Music, [Employer hidden]

Following our recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025, St Aidan's has been graded Outstanding in all areas, including Quality of Education, Behaviour, Personal Development, and Leadership and Management.

St Aidan's is a thriving and happy school where pupils are extremely proud to be part of a highly ambitious and nurturing environment (Ofsted, 2025).

St Aidan’s is a Catholic learning community for boys aged 11-18, in which all individuals are provided with the opportunity to flourish in a way that is rooted firmly in the values of the Gospel where each child can ‘Celebrate life to the full’.  Our ethos and practice is proudly rooted in these beliefs and in the core values: Hard Work, Trust and Fairness. From the moment a pupil arrives at St Aidan’s Catholic Academy we expect them to live by these values.

Our values driven policies, clear vision and consistent routines demand and nurture a strong sense of moral purpose, personal responsibility, integrity, honesty and respect for others within our pupils. These qualities enable each of our young men to reach the top of their mountain, fulfilling their potential and having a choice of University or a high-quality career.

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and well-qualified Teacher of Music to join our dedicated team and inspire our pupils across KS3 and KS4, while also supporting music education in our Trust’s Primary Schools.

The successful candidate will be joining a thriving department and will have the privilege of teaching pupils who are polite, engaged, and eager to learn.
