Teacher of Music
21 hours per week (0.6 FTE)
Permanent
We are looking for a committed and dynamic individual who will enjoy the challenge of maintaining and further developing our successful Music Department. You will be a skilled and enthusiastic musician and educator, fully committed to the learning and teaching approaches of Curriculum for Excellence and to inspiring and motivating pupils. Courses taught include Music and Music Technology at all levels. Experience of teaching Music Technology is not essential and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop their skills in this area. Our Music department also offer many extra-curricular opportunities including several concerts and performances throughout the year.
Stromness Academy is a six-year secondary school on a well-appointed campus in Orkney, which is frequently voted the best place in the UK to bring up children. Our catchment area covers the town of Stromness and the West Mainland, a dispersed population with over two thirds of our pupils being bussed into school. The small size of our school (approximately 350 on roll), and our classes, means we know our pupils well and are able to be flexible to meet their needs. We are committed to providing a positive and purposeful environment where all our pupils achieve, as set out in our school vision. This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to become part of a forward-looking school and a rich and vibrant community.
Further information about the school and our activities can be found on our website www.stromnessacademy.org.uk  and our Facebook page.
