Head of Academic Music

Overview

HEAD OF ACADEMIC MUSIC
From September 2026

Dulwich College is committed to cultivating a vibrant educational environment driven by our core values of purpose, kindness and joy. We provide exceptional teaching, scholarship, and learning both inside and outside the classroom, nurturing an inspiring and dynamic atmosphere for our community. As a world-renowned boys' school, we educate 1,700 pupils aged 7 to 18, alongside a co-educational kindergarten and infants’ school, DUCKS, with 230 young learners.

With a dedicated team of over 600 staff, we are proud of our beautiful and historic 70-acre campus in south London, where every individual is encouraged to thrive.

This role is responsible for the delivery of the academic music curriculum from Reception to Year 13. The successful applicant will be joining a supportive, creative and collaborative team of musicians and educators and will have the opportunity to develop and grow the popularity of academic music at GCSE and A Level.

Secure keyboard skills would be an advantage but not essential. The Head of Academic Music will also play a significant role in the College's concert and performance schedule as best suits their skillset.

We would consider a recently-qualified graduate or a candidate with more experience.
