About Us
Worksop College and Ranby House; one community set across two schools
- educating children from age two to eighteen. We're proud of being a broad-ability school with a focus firmly on progress, recognising that every child has their own set of skills and abilities, whether it be academic, sporting, musical or otherwise. We believe that education is about more than the flight towards academic success, but about human flourishing. We want our students to be the very best version of themselves. If they are destined to attend an established University, here is where they will flourish, or if they are an outstanding sportsperson, here is where they will hone their skills. Perhaps they are a talented artist or musician, here is where they’d perfect their craft, but if these talents are yet to be revealed, here is where they’ll be discovered. We are a remarkable school, in a stunning setting, with exceptional facilities and a talented teaching staff. At our school, what matters is the individual, their aspirations and their future.

Job Description
Ranby House is looking to appoint a talented and energetic individual to join the School music team. For Autumn 2026, we are looking to appoint a Piano Tutor. The successful candidate will be an experienced performer who will be able to demonstrate technical accomplishment as well as a detailed knowledge of the repertoire. The ability to inspire and motivate students from beginner level will be essential. The role is offered on a self-employed basis and, subject to pupil demand, at present we expect there to be about 1 days work at the Ranby House site. It may also be possible to develop an ensemble/club.. The ability to accompany pupils at the piano and to offer a second study would be an advantage. Please note that applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, and we reserve the right to close this vacancy early. Teaching It is expected that the appointed Tutor would have the ability to nurture and inspire our young pupils as well as having the technical expertise to develop their musical skills to their full potential. Tutors deliver 30-34 individual music lessons throughout the academic year. Lessons are 25 minutes in length. The progress and attendance of all pupils is monitored through regular note-keeping and communication with parents.



Tutors should prepare lessons in a way that inspires pupils through carefully selected pieces, technical exercises and tasks, which should stretch pupils according to their ability and experience, and aim to expose them to a broad range of styles. Aural, sight-reading and other musicianship skills, such as improvisation, should be incorporated into lessons on a regular basis. Both long and short-term targets should be established at the outset and, when appropriate, should be reviewed and discussed with the pupils. Timetables are arranged in School on a weekly basis in liaison with tutors in order to provide a fair rotation to pupils missing curriculum lessons and to take account of events scheduled in the School's calendar. Examinations Most students are prepared for ABRSM grade exams, which take place three times a year at Worksop College. It is expected that tutors will enter their pupils for examinations in accordance with the School’s published deadlines. LCM Musical Theatre exams, Rock School and LAMDA exams may also be considered for appropriate students and in consultation with the Director of Music. Ensembles It would be expected that tutors will be able, if requested, to run an ensemble relevant to their specialism. Tutors should be proactive in forming ensembles from both within their pupil list and in combination with other instrumentalists. This must always be done in consultation with the Director of Music who may allocate extra paid tuition time to these activities. Concerts And Other Performances Ranby House holds regular concerts for pupils to share their music and tutors are expected to prepare pupils for these performances.
