Teacher Performing Arts (Maternity Cover)

£20,638 - £31,494

The Abbey School is seeking an enthusiastic, energetic and committed teacher (primary or secondary trained) with expertise in performing arts to join our team on a one-year maternity cover contract from September 2026. This is a part-time position, working three days per week (Monday, Wednesday and Thursday).
We are looking for a performing arts specialist with strong subject knowledge and practical experience in music, dance and drama. Applicants may have a particular strength or specialism in one area, with the confidence and flexibility to teach across the other disciplines. The performing arts curriculum is well established, delivered through a two-year scheme of learning and taught in a dedicated performing arts studio, providing an excellent environment for creative, practical learning. The successful candidate will be an effective classroom practitioner who can inspire and engage pupils through accessible, high‑quality teaching while maintaining high expectations and positive relationships.
Experience of working with children with special educational needs is desirable, though this does not need to have been gained within a special school setting. A flexible, inclusive approach and a strong understanding of individual pupil needs are essential.
The majority of our pupils are working at KS1 and KS2, with a small number studying GCSEs in English and Maths. Pupils also achieve a range of accredited outcomes, including Entry Level Awards and Functional Skills qualifications, reflecting both academic and personal progress.
Working at The Abbey School is highly rewarding. Our pupils continually impress us with their resilience, achievements and positive attitudes to learning. We warmly welcome prospective applicants to visit the school prior to applying, to meet our pupils and staff and see the school in action.
