At Highgate, music is a vital part of both academic and extra-curricular life, with a strong and popular reputation. In the Pre-Prep, all classes receive a weekly music lesson that focuses on musicianship, composition, performance, and listening skills. Each class participates in termly events, including workshops with parents, mini-shows, and a whole school winter production. The Music Teacher will work closely with the Drama Teacher on larger productions, such as the winter show, which is always a highlight of the Pre-Prep year.

If you are a motivated Music Teacher looking to make a positive impact in the lives of young learners and be part of a vibrant community of educators, we encourage you to apply.

Highgate Pre-Preparatory School teachers enjoy a collaborative approach to teaching and learning. For all teachers new to Highgate, regardless of experience, there is a strong and supportive framework of induction to the School.

The Department
