DUNRAVEN SCHOOL OVERVIEW

The school’s aim is “Excellence for All” and the governors wish to appoint a candidate of significant ability and enthusiasm, aware of and stimulated by the challenges and potential of a successful and diverse co-educational school and keen to share in the development of our All Through Provision.

Our results are strong, remaining well above national averages and representing positive ‘value-added’.  Recognition of our marked progress has been significant and our journey as a school is important to us.

• In October 2014 we were judged as outstanding in all areas, including both Early Years and the Sixth Form, by Ofsted.

• In 2016 we were designated as a National Teaching School.

If you are successful in your application, you will join a staff who are hard working, committed, positive in outlook and dedicated to the achievement of our students.  

We offer:

• a high standard of professional practice, with bespoke in-house CPD provision, and affiliation to nationally recognised courses and providers (SSAT, Teaching Leaders, Future Leaders, NCTL);
