Advert

We are looking to appoint an innovative, ambitious and inspirational Head of ISC. We welcome pupils from all over the world and the ISC department is a vital component of our successful College. You will lead and support the teachers to produce outstanding lessons ensuring each pupil makes rapid progress in using English language for all aspects of school life. The Head of the ISC will operate a flexible but efficient EAL provision, and will support the Headmaster in the recruitment and selection of overseas pupils.

The College has ambitions for the International Studies Centres to be called Dover College International with the creation of an International School. Experience of working in an International School would be beneficial.

The Role

To exert leadership, and to promote efficient co-operation within the Department, with the aim of providing a stimulating educational experience for all pupils. Think differently about educating EAL students and how best to integrate them to mainstream as quickly as possible. Foster an environment where pupils enjoy and respect English, develop a love for it and know how it enables them to better access traditional subjects. It should be commonplace for pupils to speak English throughout the College and to share their skill through readings or performance within the College and publicly.

Information about the school

Dover College was 150 years old in 2021 and has educated over five and a half thousand young men and women in that time. We occupy a beautiful campus in the heart of Dover, with buildings dating back to the 12th Century. But there is nothing ancient in our approach to education. Our vision is centred around the following principles:

Small is beautiful! - The values of the family run through Dover College. Our class sizes allow us to nurture confidence, encourage inquisitiveness and celebrate individuality.

We are academically ambitious - We take the time to really get to know each child so that the right balance of challenge and support is in place based on their needs.

We think differently - Our distinctive curriculum, connecting Early Years right through to Sixth Form, focusses not only on achieving excellent results but also developing inquisitive and creative minds ready for the challenges ahead.

We offer an all-round education - We encourage internationalism, democracy, care for the environment, adventure, leadership and service.

We are international and local - We welcome pupils from across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, encouraging everyone to be inclusive, unprejudiced, cosmopolitan and outward looking.

Whether you are applying for a teaching role, or one within our support services, your contribution to our team will be immensely valuable.
