TEMPORARY TEACHER of MUSIC
(Autumn Term 2012)

The School

Charterhouse was founded in 1611. The original foundation was at Sutton's Hospital in London. The School moved to its present magnificent site near Godalming in Surrey in 1872. There are now over 800 pupils aged 13 to 18, all but c.60 of whom are boarders. 70 girls a year are admitted to the Sixth Form. The School enjoys outstanding cultural and sporting facilities, and an enviable record of academic and all-round achievement.

In September 2008 the School adopted a policy of terminal assessment for its Sixth Form courses, most of which are from the new Cambridge International Examinations Pre-U specifications. In September 2011 the School introduced the IB Diploma as an alternative programme of study in the Sixth Form.

The Music Department
One of the great strengths of music at Charterhouse is the quality of teaching. There are six full-time members of staff, all of whom bring a considerable breadth of professional experience to their teaching, providing pupils with a huge variety of musical opportunities at the highest level.
Pupils at Charterhouse study IGCSE, and Pre-U in the Sixth Form.
