Teacher of Drama - Part Time (0.6)

Teacher of Drama (0.6) - Required from September 2026 (MPS/UPS)

We are looking for an outstanding, ambitious Teacher of Drama who is passionate about their subject and the impact it can have on a young person’s development and all-round education.

The successful applicant will be an outstanding teacher who will ensure that all pupils within their classroom – any beyond - excel through a positive and nurturing learning environment.

For this post, we welcome applicants who:

• are passionate about their subject;
• are outstanding practitioners who want to work within a dynamic and exciting school;
• and are able to empower and inspire all pupils within the drama department, including building on the excellent progress that has been made with designing high-quality school productions.

The Maelor School is a consistently high-performing comprehensive school, welcoming pupils aged 11 to 18. The school has an excellent reputation in the local area and is consistently oversubscribed. While many of our pupils come from the nearby villages around Penley, others choose to travel from across Wrexham, Shropshire, and Cheshire to experience our warm, close-knit community in a picturesque rural setting. Everyone connected to The Maelor School takes great pride in our community. You will find happy staff, a great sense of teamwork and a commitment to developing colleagues at all levels.

Application packs are available on ETeach and on the school website (https://www.maelorschool.org.uk/join us/vacancies/) and should be returned to ella.ward@maelorschool.org.uk by Monday 27th April 2026 at 9am.

The referees provided in your application must include your employer from when you last worked with children; if this was in a school, we would expect it to be from the Headteacher.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all employees to share this commitment.

The successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check before taking up the appointment. The Maelor School welcomes applications from suitably qualified candidates regardless of race, gender, disability, sexuality, religious belief or age.
