The successful candidate will be expected:
· To provide high quality music teaching across the school in partnership with class teachers ensuring the requirements of the National Curriculum for Music are fully met.
· To work closely with peripatetic music teachers in order to provide children with access to extra-curricular music lessons.

In return we can offer you:

· a recognised and strong commitment to continuing professional development
We have systems in place to support staff and students and this rewarding role has the potential to provide an ambitious teacher with the opportunity for valuable professional development.
St Peter’s Middle School is on an exciting upward trajectory of rapid school improvement. We maintained our Ofsted 'Good' status in 2023 and SIAMS recognised the school as ‘Good’ in 2019. We are rightly very proud of our achievements. In April 2021 we opened our new key stage 2 facility following a multi-million-pound investment from the local authority. We encourage you to visit us to see how you can contribute to our school development and student progress and attainment.
You will work with students aged 9-13 years (Years 5-8), thus gaining combined primary and secondary experience. We very much welcome applicants from both primary teachers wishing to develop their specialism in music and from secondary teachers wishing to develop their experience of KS2. This is a magical age group to teach and we have the privilege of building effective long-lasting foundations for lifelong learning. We are part of the Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST) which enables us to offer a wide range of networking and developmental opportunities across multiple schools within the Multi-Academy Trust.
Please apply using the application form from our website www.stpetersceschool.org or contact the School Business Manager, Mrs Ersi Vasileiou e.vasileiou@st-petersoldwindsor.org.uk or call the school office on 01753 866253. Applicants are very welcome to arrange a tour/visit to the school.
Please be aware that suitable candidates may be offered an interview upon receipt of their application and this position may therefore be filled in advance of the deadline.
St Peter’s Church of England Middle School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An Enhanced CRB disclosure will be sought from the successful candidate. We welcome applications regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or religion.

Values and Vision
St Peter’s is a transforming community where everyone supports each other in genuine fellowship. Our Christian values of fellowship, wisdom, trust, integrity and compassion drive all that we do. Through God and these values we will live out our Motto:
To Aspire to be the very best we can, to Believe in our own abilities and those of the people around us, to Grow and develop continually and to Achieve the very best we can.
We were pleased that our most recent SIAMS inspection found the strengthened Christian ethos at St Peter’s School is having a positive impact on students’ well being and achievement and that as a result of a comprehensive improvement strategy, attainment levels are steadily improving for all groups. We were delighted that we achieved our best ever results (by a good margin) in both KS2 SATs and KS3 transfer tests (Year 8) this year…
In consultation with our community we changed our uniform. A uniform in itself does not result in better learning or higher grades, but what it does say is we have changed, the students are pleased to be wearing it, they are pleased to be students at St Peter’s and all we have and are going to achieve. Achievement in academic subjects is important but we also value time to develop and grow socially and emotionally. We are just as pleased that despite being the smallest school in the competition we played in fellowship and with integrity to beat our opposition and win for the very first time a regional sports competition, that our drama performances go from strength to strength with a memorable performance of Mary Poppins, Junior. Our students, staff, parents and guardians have worked extremely hard and our students deserve to be wearing a uniform that ‘says’ we are Rising above the Ordinary.
We care enough to challenge our students and make the most of all we have to offer; we are aware that we are learning for the future on the doorsteps of history with all the specialist teaching, buildings and resources you would expect from a much larger school; we believe that St Peter’s offers the children of the Windsor area something special.
Ofsted
“Students say they feel safe and well cared for, show positive attitudes and are keen to learn. Key areas for action have been identified [by the recently appointed headteacher] and work has begun. This is shared and supported by the newly appointed Chair of the Governing Body.”
