Part of the Sapientia Educaiton Trust Tel:  01502 718850 Email:   S.Poll@Beccleshighschool.org Salary - MPS Minimum – UPS Maximum Permanent Part Time 0.6 FTE Required for September 2026 An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Teacher of Music and Drama to join our school. (We would also consider applications from people who could only offer one of Music or Drama). Beccles High School is enthusiastically embracing the journey to excellence. We joined Sapientia Education Trust in September 2024 when the school was renamed and a new Headteacher appointed. Since then we have seen a dramatic transformation because every decision we make is about the young people we serve, their learning experience and personal development and we are very proud of the positive impact we are having on their futures. The school is friendly, supportive and incredibly inclusive for students and staff. We are a small school and a real community. Everybody knows, and supports, everybody else, working collectively with the same goals and ambitions for our students. Leaders have an open-door policy to support staff and we all take pleasure in sharing and celebrating achievement. All teachers have their own rooms and marking is kept to a minimum. Part of our ethos is the amazing array of opportunities we offer students, including a timetabled 100 minutes per fortnight of enhancement activities: with sports, arts, community projects and academic extension. Backed by a huge variety of clubs and societies, this is one of the reasons for the remarkably strong relationships between staff and pupils. We will also run after school academies in football, STEM and performing arts delivered by external professionals. The school and Trust provide a comprehensive induction programme. There are employee benefits such as membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, and an extensive “Academy of Learning” professional development programme, cycle to work, store discounts and a welfare programme. Schools within the Trust support each other and there are often opportunities to gain experience elsewhere, or benefit from the experience of others. Staff wellbeing is a focus, with flexible approaches and careful consultation. Our small size also means that there are many opportunities for those who would like to build a range of experience quickly. The school is located in an attractive market town on the Norfolk Broads, surrounded by countryside and very close to Norfolk and Suffolk’s amazing beaches. The beautiful cathedral city of Norwich is about 25 minutes away. Housing is affordable and there is a more relaxed way of life. Join us in our mission to create a nurturing environment where all students feel valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
