'New leaders have begun to transform the culture of the school' (Ofsted Nov 2024) so come and join us on the continuation of our transformative journey. Serving the bustling city of Sheffield, Outwood Academy City was constructed in 2011 with state-of-the-art facilities and joined Outwood Grange Academies Trust three years later. The school has undergone a huge transformation for its 1200 students, with an innovative curriculum and a personalised approach to learning, enabling our young people to realise their vocational, practical, creative and academic abilities. 'Pupils learn an ambitious curriculum that the school has carefully sequenced' (Ofsted Nov 2024) to ensure that we give our young people the best chance to succeed. Our students are a really special group of young people, and they are at the heart of everything we do. Alongside our ambitious curriculum, and, as a result of 'high-quality pastoral care', our students thrive and are proud to be a Cityzen. Come and take a look at what we offer, and see if you could be a part of Team City - #WeAreCity and we are striving for excellence. Will you join us?

About the Department:

Our Music Department is where passion meets performance, where compositions are built, voices can be found, and students' ideas come alive. We aim to inspire students to explore sound, master skills, and make music that matters. We have worked over the past year to develop a new outstanding Music curriculum for all year groups. We teach KS3 for one hour per week, which leads into exam classes in year 10 and 11, where we follow the GCSE Eduqas Music specification.


We offer a full spectrum of Music enrichment after school, culminating in a number of performance evenings and events, and our students are enthusiastic about the subject, the students have access to Music tutoring for all year groups, specifically to support with their final GCSE performances.


Music and Drama is what creates our Performing Arts Department, and collaboration across our team of staff is crucial. As well as support from the Head of Department, you will also be supported by the Trust's Director and have the opportunity to share practice with academies across the Trust.
