Thank you for your interest in working at The Duston School which is part of The Luminara Educational Trust.

 

As Principal I take great pride in leading the school and supporting the students in their educational journey. The school mantra, ‘Knowledge itself is power,’ sits at the core of my own educational philosophy and influences all that we do as a school. As a staffing body we really do seek to get to know our students. I also firmly believe, as a parent myself, that if something is not good enough for my children then it certainly is not good enough for our students.

 

Our core aim is to help students climb the tree of knowledge so they can access University, Higher Education, Employment or an Apprenticeship and be the very best edit of themselves.’ All students are inspired to Dream – Believe – Achieve.

 

TDS is a unique 4-19 mixed school. It is a high performing, successful and oversubscribed school of some 2000+ pupils with a primary phase, secondary phase and a thriving Sixth Form. Our facilities are truly outstanding, including extensive sports grounds, a swimming pool and state of the art purpose built curriculum suites including a designated Sixth Form area. Learning here has never been more exciting.

 

We believe that TDS should provide our young people with both the currency and character to succeed. We work relentlessly to nurture our students to unlock and achieve their potential.

 

Our pupils are actively encouraged to make a valuable contribution to society and thrive in a mutually supportive environment. All of our pupils are educated to enter the adult world with a strong moral compass, a real sense of resilience and to be armed with the key transferable skills that will allow them to succeed in an ever changing and fast paced globalised labour market. Our innovative curriculum enables them to gain the highest qualifications, acquire flexible life-long learning skills, and be ready to act responsibly as global citizens. We also promote the social, moral, spiritual and cultural development of our pupils, including a recognition and understanding of Fundamental British Values. 

 

If you share our vision and know you want to make it a reality for The Duston School, we very much hope you will apply for this post. We look forward to hearing from you.
