Teacher of Academic Music and Musicianship We are seeking to appoint an inspirational teacher capable of delivering the highest standards of teaching and learning in a world-leading specialist music school. The Academic Music Department at the Purcell School offers a unique programme of study, which forms an important part of every student's specialist musical education. Analysis and aural awareness are at the heart of everything we do and high-level training in these areas is a core component of the curriculum for every student. In Years 7 to 9, students study a series of topics which form the basis of creative and analytical projects, designed to expand their general musical knowledge and inform their practical studies. In Year 10, students follow the AQA GCSE music syllabus and in Year 11, they prepare for Sixth Form study through an in-depth study of larger scale works. In the Sixth Form, we currently offer A Level Music (OCR) and, in an exciting expansion of our provision, we have recently announced our intention to offer a new vocational pathway (RSL Diploma in Creative Music Industry) from September 2026. Students opting for the vocational programme will complete a broad music course, equivalent in size to three A Levels, with tailored classes designed for those in our classical performance, jazz, commercial, music production and composition departments. The school's Musicianship Programme runs in tandem with the above. In Years 7 and 8, pupils attend three Musicianship classes per week: these small-group classes include opportunities to explore music theory and analysis from aural and practical perspectives. From Year 9, students can choose from a range of electives (including advanced analysis, grades 6-8 music theory, keyboard skills, music technology and conducting), all designed to complement their instrumental studies and their core aural, analysis and exam classes. All students attend a weekly composition class and choir rehearsal. Purcell students achieve exceptional grades in Music and nearly all go on to study the subject at either conservatoire or university. Students who intend to apply to university to read Music are prepared for entrance examinations and interviews, with recent school leavers taking up places at Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and SOAS. Music teachers at the Purcell school have a varied timetable and the successful candidate should expect to contribute to the delivery of music history, analysis, composition and general musicianship programmes and to work with students from across the age range. This will include classes linked to GCSE, A Level and Diploma programmes. In addition, we encourage our teachers to develop their own projects and courses, as related to their own musical specialisms and interests. Depending on expertise, experience and qualifications, there may also be opportunities for the successful candidate to contribute to the delivery of performance classes and/or our music technology programmes. TERMS AND CONDITIONS This is a full time post to start on 1st September 2026. The salary will be based on the School's salary scale, according to the successful candidate's experience, with a contributory pension scheme. Children of staff are not eligible to be educated at the School except through the normal admissions and audition process. The post is subject to a probationary period.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to the school where you will have the opportunity to meet key staff and to lead a short lesson. Interviews will explore subject knowledge, pastoral experience and the ability to relate appropriately to students.

About the School We are a thriving independent preparatory school in central London, educating boys and girls from the age of 2 to 13. Guided by our core values of confidence, curiosity, and kindness, we provide a broad, ambitious, and enriching education that promotes academic excellence, creativity, and outstanding pastoral care. As part of the Brighton College family of schools, widely regarded as the leading co-educational school group in the UK, we benefit from a strong shared ethos while retaining our own distinctive character. In 2025, we were proud to be named London Independent School of the Year finalists, recognising the quality of our educational provision, leadership, and pupil outcomes. Situated beside Exhibition Road in the heart of central London, we make exceptional use of our location to enrich learning, foster cultural engagement, and inspire a lifelong love of reading and language. As an Apple School, we believe in the thoughtful and purposeful use of technology to enhance teaching and learning. Digital tools are used selectively to support drafting, research, creativity, and collaboration; however, we are clear that the pen still reigns supreme, and that fluent handwriting, sustained writing, and deep engagement with texts remain central to our English curriculum. About Cognita Cognita is a global leader in independent education. Founded in 2004, we are a growing community of 90 schools in 21 countries - in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East - serving more than 100,000 students.

At Cognita, we know every student is unique. We nurture their distinct personalities and strengths. We support them academically, socially, and emotionally, wherever they are in the world, wherever they're starting from. And each and every one of our schools is unique too.

We open their classrooms to the collective wisdom of 90 schools in 21 countries, ensuring every child gets an education that's, quite literally, world class.

As an Apple School, the Head of English will also be expected to model and promote the effective use of technology where it genuinely enhances learning, while maintaining a clear commitment to traditional academic rigour. The successful candidate will recognise that technology supports excellent teaching but does not replace it, and that the pen remains the primary tool for thinking, drafting, and sustained writing, particularly in preparation for examinations and scholarships.
