Dunraven Educational Trust Overview

Dunraven Educational Trust was established in 2016. It now incorporates Dunraven’s All-Through School, Van Gogh Primary, Goldfinch Primary, The Elmgreen School and Rosendale Primary School. DET is a trust committed to one overarching aim: excellence for and from everyone. This is an expectation for both the children and adults in a school community. It is achieved in a variety of ways according to the context of each school but within the clear framework established by the Trust.

We want an educational experience which provides excellence for – and expects it from – everyone. We know that this is best achieved in a school where:

• the offer is broad, balanced, inclusive, enriching and effective in meeting the needs of young people;
• staff and students are supported and challenged to be the best versions of themselves;
• relationships are positive, well established and healthy;
• practice is based on evidence and underpinned by the notion that ‘we can always do better’.

We are clear that this supports the development of children and young people (and adults) who are resilient, courteous, optimistic, hardworking, self-disciplined, enthusiastic and creative.

We look forward to receiving your application.

Closing date: Friday 31 May 2024.
