About this role
Sherborne School is looking for a Choral Director to lead and develop its established choral programme, building on a tradition where music plays a central role in school life. Working closely with the Director of Music and the wider department, the role involves directing a range of choirs and shaping music for regular services in Sherborne Abbey, alongside concerts and other performances during the year. With around 100 boys involved in the School Choir, as well as a Chamber Choir, it’s a busy and rewarding role with plenty of scope to make it your own.
This is a part-time post with a focus on evenings and Sundays, and would suit someone combining it with other musical work, such as a church role or teaching during the day. You’ll be working with talented, committed pupils, many with strong choral backgrounds, in a setting that values both high standards and wide participation. With good support, including regular accompanists, and excellent facilities, it’s a great opportunity to be closely involved in a musical life that is both ambitious and very much part of the school’s identity.
