Bolton School Foundation is seeking to engage the services of a self-employed, part-time Single Reed Woodwind Teacher to join a very successful team of instrumental teachers within its Music Departments as soon as possible.
The Foundation has thriving and fully-resourced music departments in which over 30 specialist instrumental tutors provide weekly tuition during term time. Pupils are regularly entered for Associated Board and Trinity exams, and many senior pupils study GCSE and A level music.
There are currently up to nine pupils requiring 35-minute one-to-one lessons, with scope for the successful candidate to increase pupil numbers further. In addition, there may be opportunities for ensemble coaching for a suitable candidate.
Applications are sought from enthusiastic and experienced woodwind teachers who are able to teach from beginner to advanced level on a self-employed basis. Pupils currently require lessons in saxophone and clarinet. The ability to teach other woodwind instruments would be advantageous.
With some 2,500 pupils, Bolton School is a large, thriving, academically selective day school. It is situated a mile or so from the town centre in a stunning 32 acre campus and is within easy reach of some of the nation’s finest cities and countryside.
In Autumn 2021, significant changes were made to the leadership structure of the School Foundation, investing the newly created position of Head of Foundation with overall responsibility. Within the new structure, there are three sections: Girls’ Division, Boys’ Division and Primary Division. A Head of each Division and the Head of Foundation, together with the Clerk and Treasurer and Director of Operational Services, are the Foundation’s Senior Officers; they are directly accountable to the Governors.
Two adjoining and similar buildings, now attached by a state-of-the art Sixth Form Centre, house the Boys’ and Girls’ Senior Schools, each of which provides a traditional academic education from the age of 11 years. The Primary Division includes separate Junior Schools for boys and girls from the age of 7 and a co-educational Infant School and Nursery.

Closing date for applications: Friday 17 April 2026 at 4.00pm
Interviews will be held on Friday 01 May 2026
