This is a unique opportunity for an inspirational and creative music teacher to join the staff of this welcoming independent school in Southend, renowned for its supportive community, commitment to academic and creative excellence, and a strong emphasis on nurturing each child’s potential.

Are you:

• Curious enough to take an adventure into the world of independent education?
• Keen to deliver inspirational, dynamic and memorable lessons?
• Interested in creating exciting and memorable experiences for children – both inside and outside the classroom?
• Passionate about the creative development of children so they learn to thrive in the modern age?
• Could you commit to a full time position position?
• Capable of working closely with existing experienced teachers?

If so, we can offer you:

• Small classes offering wonderful opportunity to individualise your pedagogy, working across the primary age range.
• Our specialist approaches working throughout the school, allowing staff to play to their significant strengths, have more time to plan and prepare lessons, and engage in co-curricular activities within the wider life of the school.
• Extensive grounds that harbour our own small lake and huge potential for learning beyond the classroom.

If you think you are up for the challenge and fancy dipping your toe into the independent school experience, we’d love to talk to you about what Alleyn Court Preparatory School may offer; Mrs Sanders would be delighted to give you a tour and chat about what the role involves, the support available and what you might gain from such a rare and exciting experience. 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
