Job Description

Director of Music (Senior School)

A vacancy exists for an inspiring and experienced Director of Music to lead a thriving and enthusiastic team

The successful candidate is required to maintain the school’s tradition of an inclusive programme that nurtures students of every musical ability.

The Arts in general, and music in particular, lie at the heart of our thriving community; currently over 40% of students are involved in the Extra –Curricular Music Programme including choirs, orchestras, bands, peripatetic instrumental lessons, concerts, musical productions and ensembles. The department is an important public interface between the school and wider community, both locally and increasingly internationally.

The Director of Music is responsible for the smooth running of the department including student attainment, performance management, subject development, budget setting (and its judicious management) and the department’s administration within the context of the School’s strategic plan.

This post offers an exciting opportunity for a colleague who has successfully led, or held a senior position, in a thriving and successful Music Department within a high performing British School in an international, independent or state environment.

It is essential that the successful applicant has excellent knowledge and understanding of IGCSE/GCSE and A Level programmes; as too is a working knowledge of the English National Curriculum. Experience of 4-18 education is desirable but not essential.

Kellett is a through-train school from Reception to Year 13 with two preparatory campuses and one senior campus. Student roll currently 1421; Senior 620; KLB Prep 320; PFL Prep 481

Kellett offers a truly outstanding education, evidenced by a BSO Inspection, membership of HMC and IAPS, as well as exceptional public examination results
