Music Teacher / ECT London £40,317 – £62,496 (Inner London MPS/UPS) Full-Time | Permanent | September Start
Let’s not pretend this is a standard teaching role…
- Do you want to teach Music in a school where it’s actually heard, seen, and celebrated?
- Can you walk into a classroom and command it — not just with behaviour, but with presence?
- Are you the kind of teacher who can turn a quiet room into a performance space?
This London secondary school isn’t looking for someone to just “cover the curriculum.”
They’re looking for a Music Teacher or ECT who can bring energy, creativity, and identity into the department — someone students remember.
KPI Education are working closely with a vibrant, culturally rich school in London where Music plays a huge role in the life of the school — from lessons, to performances, to community events.
What’s the vibe?
This is a school where:
- Music isn’t tucked away — it’s central to the culture
- Students perform. Regularly. And confidently.
- The department has real backing — equipment, space, and leadership support
- There’s a genuine mix of classical, contemporary, and modern music influences
- Talent is spotted early and properly developed
Think rehearsals after school. Think concerts that actually draw a crowd. Think students who want to be there.
What you’ll be walking into:
- A fully equipped Music suite (practice rooms, instruments, tech)
- Strong uptake at KS4, with growing interest at KS5
- Opportunities to lead on performances, productions, and enrichment
- A department that’s creative, collaborative, and ambitious
The role (beyond the obvious):
Yes — you’ll teach KS3 & KS4 (KS5 if that’s your thing).
But more importantly:
- You’ll build confidence through performance
- You’ll give students a platform — not just a lesson
- You’ll bring your own musical identity into the classroom
- You’ll help shape a department that students choose, not avoid
Who this is for:
- A Music specialist (ECTs welcome)
- Someone with presence — not just subject knowledge
- A teacher who can engage a class whether it’s theory, performance, or production
- Someone who wants to be involved in school life beyond the timetable
Let’s be real for a second:
- What’s your “go-to” track or lesson that always lands?
- How do you get buy-in from students who think Music “isn’t for them”?
- What would your first school performance look like?
- What would students say about your lessons after a term?
This is one of those roles where you can genuinely leave a mark.
If you’re looking for a Music post where you can just teach quietly — this isn’t it.
If you want to build something, perform, inspire, and be remembered — now we’re talking.
