We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and passionate teacher to lead music across our school and provide PPA cover.
About The School
We have an outstanding music provision at West Twyford. We are a leading music school for the London Borough of Ealing and our children sing every week and play a range of instruments; children learn a different musical instrument in each year of KS2. We work closely with the Ealing music service and have a wide range of individual music lessons and choirs. The successful candidate will join a happy, professional and dynamic school. Where music is taught through PPA time and as an extra-curricular activity. We showcase music twice a year with our winter and summer concerts.
We are a friendly and supportive two-form entry school with a strong focus on excellent teaching and learning and a belief that all children can learn and achieve high standards. We were recently congratulated by the Secretary of State for our excellent outcomes for disadvantaged pupils. We believe in offering a wide variety of enrichment activities for our pupils. Emotional health & well-being is promoted throughout the school, and we have a community of happy and positive learners.
Our newly built, state of the art building is well resourced, and we have beautiful and extensive grounds which are rare in an inner London school and these contribute to our positive and calm environment. We run the OPAL creative play program at lunchtimes to ensure that every minute for our children at West Twyford is a learning opportunity.
