Our staff are skilled practitioners, each with a passion for the Foundation.
Our teachers and coaches love their subject or sport and have a burning desire to enthuse the pupils they teach.
Creating inspiring lessons which expose pupils to a range of media and learning styles, they aim to help young people of all abilities to develop learning habits that will not only lead them to exam success but stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives.
As well to their own subject specialisms, our staff bring a diverse range of talents and contacts to the Foundation which helps enrich the life of the school - from arranging special trips, sporting events or learning challenges to staging concerts, exhibitions and school plays.
Our support staff strive to provide the best experience for our pupils and staff. They are an essential part of our schools’ operations and cover roles across estates, administration, IT, finance, marketing, department technicians, and learning support, to name a few.
We have a commitment to staff development and our staff enjoy a CPD programme designed to allow them to develop within the classroom and outside of it.
We greatly value the help given by volunteers, students, and work placements. If you’re interested in volunteering at Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation or have any other queries regarding recruitment, then please contact [email protected]
