We are seeking to appoint an inspiring and enthusiastic Teacher of Music to join our thriving, oversubscribed school. This post represents an exciting opportunity to join the next stage of development for this department, which has benefitted from successful curriculum development and investment in high-quality resources and facilities. The successful candidate should be a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher with effective, evidence-informed teaching and learning strategies to improve the quality of education in order to raise achievement. Perhaps most important will be your passion for music and the performing arts, which will inspire our young people to participate in performance or aspire to a career in the arts.

At Litherland High School we believe in providing our students with excellent and exciting educational opportunities based on the core values of kindness, integrity and tenacity. We are proud of our broad and balanced curriculum and high aspiration; there is no cap on ambition building the skills for successful lives. We are incredibly proud that our relentless focus on improvement was validated by Ofsted in February 2024, securing Good in all areas. We are resolutely on our journey to provide an outstanding education for our students.

One of the foundations of our success is our place in the heart of our community; the relationships between our staff, students and families are fundamental to securing high levels of engagement. 96% of parents would recommend our school to other parents. This partnership helps us to ensure strong behaviour, which means our teachers can work in a happy and safe environment, focused on what they do best: teaching. Our staff are committed to our school and community; many of them have been here for most of their career – indeed several are alumni and live locally - and staff turnover is low, which we believe is indicative of a happy work environment and a commitment to staff well-being.

If you can inspire children, enjoy working with young people and are determined to make a real difference to the students you teach then you could be the kind of teacher we are looking for.
