Peripatetic Drum Teacher

We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and inspirational peripatetic Drum Teacher to join our Expressive Arts department. You would coordinate and work alongside our thriving music department. You will deliver high quality instrumental lessons to either individual students or small groups. There is also the opportunity for teaching work within the three Primary Schools of the Chulmleigh Academic Trust. The vacancy is to cover the increasing number of drum pupils and is currently expected to cover 4 – 5 teaching hours per week. Lessons run each week throughout the academic year.

The College has been appointed as one of the lead secondary schools for Music in Devon and works closely in partnership with other local schools and the Devon Music Education Hub. This award has recognised the high quality of both curriculum and extra-curricular music within the College.

Chulmleigh College aims to encourage as many pupils as possible to participate in music, with opportunities for all pupils to attend lunch time music activities and perform at regular concerts. Moreover, 30% of pupils are engaged with either music or singing. Pupils enjoy the benefits of well-equipped music classrooms and practice rooms which are available for use by peripatetic teachers to deliver a full range of instrumental and singing lessons.

The successful candidate will be expected to plan their own weekly timetable for each half term period, taking into account the availability of pupils. Main duties will include preparing pupils for music exams, GCSE assessments and performances. The role will involve completion of all administrative tasks required. The College offers financial support for Pupil Premium children in order that all pupils can access this provision, should they wish it. The postholder will liaise with parents regarding payment. Lesson fees are currently set at £17 per 30-minute lesson.
