2nd in music dept at dd1 and 2's school left today - job advertised on website from Sept. I was HoD till 10 years ago - though mainly in more challenging schools than dds' grammar school. Since then I've done return to teaching course (primary) and specialist dyslexia course as well as v p/t music teaching and ks2 supply,plus had 4th and final child who starts school in Sept.
I'd love this job - taught A level thogh not for a no. of years, have good original qualifications but obv not taught full time for a few years. How would you go about it? I assume first of all check who's covering music for the next term. Before I knew this teacher was leaving was going to approach school to ask to shadow/volunteer with a view to returning. Ask to go in see HoD? She knows I used to teach music. It's a bit harder as it's dds' school.
Sorry - this sounds like a total ramble but I know I'd love the job. Any advice gratefully received.
