Peripatetic Drum Teacher

We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and inspirational peripatetic Drum

Teacher to join our Expressive Arts department. You would coordinate and work

alongside our thriving music department.

You will deliver high quality instrumental lessons to either individual

students or small groups. There is also the opportunity for teaching work

within the three Primary Schools of the Chulmleigh Academic Trust. The vacancy is to cover the increasing number

of drum pupils and is currently expected to cover 4 – 5 teaching hours per

week. Lessons run each week throughout the academic year.

The College has been appointed as one of the lead secondary

schools for Music in Devon and works closely in partnership with other local

schools and the Devon Music Education Hub. This award has recognised the high

quality of both curriculum and extra-curricular music within the College.

Chulmleigh College aims to encourage as many pupils as possible to

participate in music, with opportunities for all pupils to attend lunch time

music activities and perform at regular concerts. Moreover, 30% of pupils are engaged with

either music or singing. Pupils enjoy

the benefits of well-equipped music classrooms and practice rooms which are

available for use by peripatetic teachers to deliver a full range of instrumental

and singing lessons.

The successful candidate will be expected to plan their own weekly

timetable for each half term period, taking into account the availability of

pupils. Main duties will include preparing pupils for music exams, GCSE

assessments and performances. The role will involve completion of all

administrative tasks required. The College offers financial support for Pupil

Premium children in order that all pupils can access this provision, should

they wish it. The postholder will liaise with parents regarding payment. Lesson

fees are currently set at £17 per 30-minute lesson.
