Job overview
The post and the department
All students study Drama throughout key stage 3 and it remains a popular option at GCSE. We recently began offering Drama as a distinct subject at our International School (TIS), also based in North Oxford, and have seen good uptake of the subject at GCSE.
Teaching is in small groups of up to 16 students in years 7-9 and somewhat smaller in years 10 and 11. These small groups enable us to focus on students’ individual needs and help them to achieve their full potential. We aim to instil a love of Drama in all of our pupils. Drama at d’Overbroeck’s is about allowing students to develop confidence in themselves – not just as performers, but as individuals and members of a broader society. We want our students to develop their confidence and imagination as well as their talents. To this end, we put a strong emphasis on a collaborative approach to Drama. Everyone has an input; everyone's individual aptitudes are recognised.
We have a very popular and well-established extra-curricular programme, with a whole school production happening once a year as well as a smaller KS3 production, with the scope to expand this in the future. The standard of performance work, both in extra-curricular and for examination, is extremely high and this culture of excellence drives the success of the department.

About d'Overbroeck's
THE SCHOOL
d’Overbroeck’s is a co-educational independent day and boarding school in Oxford for students aged 11 – 18. The school roll currently stands at around 750, and this is set to grow in the coming years.
Founded in 1977, initially as a Sixth Form, d’Overbroeck’s has maintained its founding values throughout its growth.
We believe in outstanding teaching and laughter. We celebrate the individual and foster a culture that promotes collaboration and originality. We pride ourselves on our unique blend of social informality and academic rigour.
d’Overbroeck’s consists of three sections:
Years 7-11 – 200 students; currently all day students although open to boarders from next year. Based at Leckford Place, OX2 6HX.
Sixth Form – 440 students; a mixture of day and boarding. Domestic and international. Based at a purpose-built site at 333 Banbury Road.
The International School – around 125 international students who are all boarders, across years 9-11.
All in all, this is a busy and happy educational environment in which staff and students enjoy positive relationships based on mutual respect and a shared sense of purpose. As our most recent ISI inspection report puts it:
‘A defining characteristic of d’Overbroeck’s is its close-knit, informal atmosphere within which students grow in confidence, self-esteem, respect for themselves and for others. Students are very supportive of each other and behaviour throughout is excellent, exemplified in considerate, warm relationships.
In its key findings, our most recent inspection report (2021) found that our students are highly motivated with extremely positive attitudes to learning. They were described as successful collaborative learners who are naturally inclusive. They were said to have a remarkably strong sense of self understanding and excellent awareness of how to improve and achieve their goals.
