About Us
The Dorset Studio School is a thriving 11-16 secondary school situated within the superb facilities and exceptional teaching environment of the Kingston Maurward estate. We have recently opened a second, KS4 site on the beautiful Poundbury development within the county town of Dorchester. We are a relatively young school, uniquely placed to offer a ‘twenty first century’ education to those young people wishing to pursue employment in the Land Based, or indeed other sectors. Our students may typically aspire to careers related to Equine, Veterinary Science, Environmental Science, Agriculture or Travel for example; though in practice may progress on to a host of other Level 3 pathways or careers. Recognised by OFSTED as a ‘Good’ school in September 2017, the report noted that our ‘teachers motivate pupils to learn by giving them interesting lessons and providing the right support when they need it.’ We ‘set ambitious targets and expectations for our students’ with, ‘the most able pupils achieving well.’ The school’s ‘work to promote personal development and welfare is outstanding.’
All students at our school follow a demanding academic curriculum with the majority working towards nine GCSE qualifications. This is complemented with an incrementally phased work experience commitment allowing the students to develop both the soft and technical employability skills that they will need to be able to flourish in a competitive market. Our staff is extremely dedicated, caring, professional and innovative; committed to ensuring excellence for our students.
The role
This is a rare and exciting opportunity within a forward thinking school for a proactive and energetic individual to work with our experienced, friendly, supportive Science department.
We are seeking someone with the ability to inspire students, to make Science ‘come alive’ for them, whilst ensuring the continued development of standards and progress.
This role would be suited to an ambitious and creative individual, keen to inspire a love of Science in our young people, while applying learning to real life scenarios. You must be keen to embrace innovation whilst maintaining high standards and outcomes.
The Dorset Studio School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment.
