We work hard. We are relentless in our pursuit of the best opportunities for students. We are resilient and tolerant, adaptable and flexible. We are team players. We enjoy each other's company. Our students are incredibly committed to our school.

We are professionals demonstrating expert judgement. We are calm of disposition and intellectually aware. Characteristics are more important than experience.

Who are we?

The Dorset Studio School is a thriving, mainstream 11-16 co-ed secondary school situated within the superb facilities and exceptional teaching environment of the 750-acre Kingston Maurward estate.

We have recently opened a second, KS4 site, just a few miles away on the beautiful Poundbury development within the county town of Dorchester. This is a temporary measure, providing the learning experiences and facilities that our students require, whilst we await the building of our new school, on the same Kingston Maurward site. We are a relatively young school (in our tenth year this year), uniquely placed to offer a 'twenty first century' education to those young people wishing to pursue employment in the Land Based, or indeed other sectors.

Our students...

Typically aspire to careers related to Equine, Veterinary Science, Environmental Science, Agriculture or Travel for example; though in practice also progress on to a host of other Level 3 pathways or careers. Our year 11 leavers move on to local college courses, A Levels in school sixth forms, apprenticeships' or indeed employment.

Our progress

Recognised by OFSTED as a 'Good' school, the report noted that our 'teachers motivate pupils to learn by giving them interesting lessons and providing the right support when they need it.'

We are an inclusive school. All students follow a demanding academic curriculum with the majority working towards nine GCSE qualifications. This is complemented with an incrementally phased work experience commitment allowing the students to develop both the soft and technical employability skills that they will need to be able to flourish in a competitive market. Our staff is extremely dedicated, caring, professional and innovative; committed to ensuring excellence for our students.

The role specifics

We are now looking to appoint a colleague who can bring additional expertise to our fantastic staff team. The successful candidate will be able to make a significant contribution primarily to both our Key Stage three and four provision. They will be able to confidently prepare students for assessments, whilst also embedding the skills required to support successful and happy lives.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity within a forward thinking school for a proactive and energetic individual to work with our experienced, friendly, supportive Science department.

We are seeking someone with the ability to inspire students, to make Science 'come alive' for them, whilst ensuring the continued development of standards and progress. Students work towards 'double' or 'triple' (separate sciences) qualifications within an inspiring and diverse 750 acre campus.

Dorset Studio School is oversubscribed and is proud of its strong reputation. As an evolving and growing school, the range of appointments we make, and the skill set we look for is ever expanding. We are developing our provision in many of our staff teams. It is possible that a future TLR could be considered for the right candidate. If you feel that you have more to offer, and that this post could be the next step in your career development, please do let us know.

If you want to work in a good school with a creative and ambitious outlook, we would love to hear from you.
