Full-Time Teacher of Mathematics required for Term 6 2020 or September 2020

Are you looking to work with able and motivated students in a supportive and nurturing environment? Do you want to experience first-class professional and personal development opportunities, and benefit from free healthcare provision? Could you see yourself delivering high quality teaching and learning in our new purpose-built school accommodation? Then DGSB could be the school for you! 

We are looking for an inspirational teacher of Mathematics who would relish the opportunity to stretch and challenge our academically able students. It would be preferable for the successful candidate to have the ability to teach Mathematics to A-Level and the potential to be an outstanding practitioner. We welcome applications from both experienced teachers and NQTs, teachers from selective and non-selective backgrounds and teachers returning to the profession. We will provide a comprehensive induction and CPD programme for teachers at all stages of their career. 

You will be joining DGSB at a very exciting time. We have a new Headteacher, who joined us in September 2018 and who is focused on developing all aspects of the school and on accentuating everything that makes it such an enjoyable and rewarding place to learn and teach. We have recently received planning permission for our whole school new build, with construction due to begin in March 2020. We are also working tirelessly to build on our 2019 OFSTED 'Good' grading by developing innovative approaches to the curriculum and wider learning. 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students and expect all staff to share in this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to undergo appropriate child protection screening including an enhanced DBS check. 

If you are passionate about working with young people, relish a challenge and feel you have the necessary skills for this post, please contact Sophie Tourki on 01304 216811, or alternatively email: stourki@dgsb.co.uk.

DGSB is on a very exciting journey. Having retained our "Good " OFSTED designation, without condition, in October 2019, we are working hard on every aspect of what we do as we want to become even better. We moved into a £26m new school building in July 2022 and our new accommodation provides us with modern, bright, spacious teaching rooms, and has increased opportunities for students both inside and outside of the taught curriculum.

However, our success both in school – we recorded a fantastic Progress 8 score in 2023 of +0.57 - and within the local community means that we are already looking to expand our site and develop opportunities further.

DGSB is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students and expect all staff to share in this commitment.
