With the opening of our new Secondary building on the horizon, we’re excited to expand our team and are seeking passionate and dedicated teachers and leaders to join our Science department in August 2025. We are looking for dynamic, caring, and empathetic educators who can lead, and grow our GCSE and post 16 offer, becoming a key part of a progressive community school with one of the fastest-growing reputations in the region.
Candidates must be committed to working with the local community and developing ways to engage with parents and forge effective partnerships with them. The successful candidate will be closely aligned with DGPS's core values and ethos and be part of a community that blends the best of British education with a commitment to preparing students for success in a rapidly changing world, while possessing a genuine understanding and appreciation of the region's values. While we recognise experience is important, this role would also suit an ambitious and hard-working teacher looking to move into middle leadership. Above all, we’re looking for an astute, driven, and down-to-earth educator committed to fostering a culture of successful collaboration and progressive learning through our vision of learning together and growing together.
If you are looking for an opportunity to work in a high achieving, happy, caring and inclusive school then we would love to hear from you.
