The Performing Arts department is a strong, versatile and creative team incorporating music and drama. Both are popular with students, with a good uptake at key stage 4, and have a history of success. Durrington is committed to a rich and broad curriculum and we have five full time staff in Performing Arts.
Our work in the curriculum lies at the heart of all we do, students are encouraged to create, perform and evaluate to the highest standard from the very start of year 7 all the way through to GCSE lessons. A particular strength of the department is the standard of performance work from our students with all students performing every lesson.
The team is busy throughout the year leading on a wide range of enrichment opportunities including KS3 Choir, numerous concerts and musical productions. Recent large-scale musical productions include “Mary Poppins Jr.” with students from all year groups performing at an outstanding level.
Our facilities are excellent and include 2 music rooms with practice rooms and a recently updated computer suite with 16 new macs, 2 large drama studios, a dance and drama studio and a brand new performing arts facility with theatre lighting and sound. Our resources support the team’s cutting edge approach to students’ experiences – both within and beyond the classroom.
We are looking for someone with high expectations, along with the potential and energy, to help the team improve even further. You will be enthusiastic, hardworking, passionate about music with the drive to deliver high quality lessons and an outstanding practitioner who can maintain the high standards we have in lessons whilst adding to our programme of extra-curricular enrichment activities, giving freely of your time
