Job overview
We are seeking to recruit a dynamic and enthusiastic person to join our friendly and caring Pre-Prep and Prep Department. Teaching classes for September have not been decided yet, so we will take into account the experience of the successful candidate when allocating classes . Applications from ECTs and experienced teachers are welcome.
We have wonderful pupils who have a passion for learning and deserve the very best. Our Pre-Prep and Prep staff nurture and encourage our children by creating an environment which is supportive, positive and respectful. There is a real ‘family feel’ which is evident as soon as you step inside.
Our small classes allow us to know our pupils as individuals and to tailor our teaching accordingly. The children learn to collaborate and communicate, and are encouraged to be creative and use their imaginations. They take a real pride in their work, are well-motivated and embrace the challenges of new learning.
Our days are busy ones: outside of the classroom, there is a wide range of activities and events which our children can participate in enabling them to discover their talents, broaden their horizons and develop resilience. Class trips take place each term and there are residential trips for our older Prep pupils. Our staff are prepared to go the extra mile for our pupils to enable them to reach their full potential.

Durham High School is an Independent Day School providing a lively, friendly and caring community for girls aged 3 - 18. We were one of the first schools in the North East of England to take girls' education seriously and we are proud to continue that tradition today; we seek to develop the potential of every girl in all areas of life. We encourage academic excellence and a lifelong love of learning, but we also place great value on personal development in creative arts, in sport, in community service and in leadership.
Values and vision
Durham High School was founded in 1884 and over 130 years later, we have evolved with the times to provide a top-class, modern and relevant education whilst remaining true to the Christian principles of our founders.
Our aims are:
- To create a friendly, caring community based on Christian principles where every individual is valued
- To develop the potential of every girl in all areas of her life
- To encourage academic excellence and a life-long love of learning
