"As a Music Department we draw on the expertise, skills and experience of a diverse music team to deliver the highest quality of music education and offer our students excellent opportunities. We aim to engage and inspire students to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, while striving to increase children's self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As students' progress, we expect them to develop a critical appreciation of music, allowing them to compose and perform, and to listen with discrimination and insight. We are seeking to appoint a passionate and inspiring practitioner to join the Music department from June 2019." Head of Department.
