Detail

Edgeborough School is seeking a highly motivated, passionate, and qualified Head of Drama to inspire children in our nurturing, caring and collaborative Prep Department, teaching across Year’s 3-8. Applications will be welcomed from qualified teachers, or a professional interested in entering the profession.

The successful candidate will be welcomed into a highly collaborative partnership with the Head of Music, with the prospect to share a new vision for curriculum performing arts. They will also have the opportunity to build on our successful programme of plays, musicals and performance showcases, reviewing and refining our offering for a modern Prep School.

We are incredibly proud of our award-winning drama department. Last year, our Year 7 and 8 production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream was named Best Play at the National School Theatre Awards. This year, we are nominated for two further categories and have been invited to perform at the awards ceremony, which takes place on a West End stage!

Edgeborough boasts a purpose-built theatre with tiered seating, The Dunbar Hall Theatre. This facility has a specific sound and lighting box equipped with high specification resources suitable for all performances.

This is a very exciting time for our community, with plans afoot for some significant developments, including the complete redesign of existing facilities to create a state of the art Performing Arts Centre.
