Music Teacher / ECT
London
£40,317 – £62,496 (Inner London MPS/UPS)
Full-Time | Permanent | September Start

Let’s not pretend this is a standard teaching role…

• Do you want to teach Music in a school where it’s actually heard, seen, and celebrated?
• Can you walk into a classroom and command it — not just with behaviour, but with presence?
• Are you the kind of teacher who can turn a quiet room into a performance space?

This London secondary school isn’t looking for someone to just “cover the curriculum.”

They’re looking for a Music Teacher or ECT who can bring energy, creativity, and identity into the department — someone students remember.

KPI Education are working closely with a vibrant, culturally rich school in London where Music plays a huge role in the life of the school — from lessons, to performances, to community events.

What’s the vibe?

This is a school where:

• Music isn’t tucked away — it’s central to the culture
• Students perform. Regularly. And confidently.
• The department has real backing — equipment, space, and leadership support
• There’s a genuine mix of classical, contemporary, and modern music influences
• Talent is spotted early and properly developed

Think rehearsals after school.
Think concerts that actually draw a crowd.
Think students who want to be there.

What you’ll be walking into:

• A fully equipped Music suite (practice rooms, instruments, tech)
• Strong uptake at KS4, with growing interest at KS5
• Opportunities to lead on performances, productions, and enrichment
• A department that’s creative, collaborative, and ambitious

The role (beyond the obvious):

Yes — you’ll teach KS3 & KS4 (KS5 if that’s your thing).

But more importantly:

• You’ll build confidence through performance
• You’ll give students a platform — not just a lesson
• You’ll bring your own musical identity into the classroom
• You’ll help shape a department that students choose, not avoid

Who this is for:

• A Music specialist (ECTs welcome)
• Someone with presence — not just subject knowledge
• A teacher who can engage a class whether it’s theory, performance, or production
• Someone who wants to be involved in school life beyond the timetable

Let’s be real for a second:

• What’s your “go-to” track or lesson that always lands?
• How do you get buy-in from students who think Music “isn’t for them”?
• What would your first school performance look like?
• What would students say about your lessons after a term?

This is one of those roles where you can genuinely leave a mark.

If you’re looking for a Music post where you can just teach quietly — this isn’t it.

If you want to build something, perform, inspire, and be remembered — now we’re talking.

Don’t overthink it — the best opportunities don’t stay open for long.
