The School

The Charles Dickens School is a rapidly-improving, non-selective 11-18 school located in Broadstairs, Kent. We have a vision and a determination to provide our community with an excellent school and we are making great strides towards this. Our results in 2022 identify us as the most improved school in Kent (out of 101 secondary schools) and one of the most improved schools in the country.

To work here is to embrace the challenges of an economically-diverse community and understand the influence education has in addressing social immobility.  There are few schools in the country where a teacher’s ability to change lives is so evident. Without hyperbole, this is a career-defining mission. We’re looking for brilliant people to join us on our journey.

The School has excellent facilities. All rooms are equipped with state-of-the art electronic interactive whiteboards. There are excellent specialist facilities for sport, hospitality, engineering, dance, drama, music and art. We have a Specialist Resource Provision for visually-impaired children. We offer and value a broad curriculum aimed at promoting talent beyond traditional academic subjects. Our significant investment in professional development drives colleagues’ continuous improvement. This is a place where everyone improves regardless of their career stage.

Our recent Ofsted Inspection in March 2023 graded the School "Good" in every category. 

The Charles Dickens School is part of Barton Court Academy Trust, a small, ambitious Trust which also comprises a high achieving grammar school, Barton Court Grammar School and Barton Manor School, a new non-selective school which opened in September 2022.

The Post 

A highly qualified Second in Mathematics assigned to a Key Stage is required to start in January 2024 or sooner.  This offers an excellent opportunity to work in a forward-thinking department with supportive colleagues and would suit an enthusiastic candidate who is looking to broaden their expertise.  The School offers excellence in professional development and is looking for an individual who can deliver outstanding teaching and learning.  

Deadline for applications is Friday 23 June 2023 @ 9.00am.  Early applications are encouraged and will be considered before the deadline.
