We are now looking to appoint an enthusiastic and passionate Teacher of Drama to join our vibrant and supportive performing arts team at an incredibly exciting time for the academy.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a talented Teacher of Drama to work in a school that truly values the arts and recognises the important role drama plays in students’ personal development, self-expression and academic success. You will join a department led by dedicated subject specialists who are passionate about delivering engaging, high-quality lessons and creating memorable opportunities for students both inside and outside the classroom.

Our excellent facilities reflect our ambition for the subject, with fantastic learning and performance spaces that support creativity, collaboration and high-quality productions throughout the year.
