Job overview

Part time will be considered

Ditton Park Academy is an exciting new free school which opened in 2014. Since this time, we have grown as both a staff and student body, moved into our brand new £19 million Academy site, achieving our first set of fantastic GCSE results and then opening our brand new Sixth Form in September 2019.

Ditton Park Academy is the first school opened by The SASH Education Trust (Slough Association for Secondary Headteachers) and we benefit enormously from the support and collaboration of the 13 secondary Head Teachers in Slough. Another SASH school (Grove Academy) opened in September 2017 as an all through school for 3-18 year olds. We are now formally part of a Multi Academy Trust.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated teacher to positively impact upon our students in this vibrant and dynamic school.

We encourage all potential candidates to come and visit us, for an informal meeting/tour, if they are considering making an application.
