We wish to appoint a passionate and experienced Leader of Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award Scheme. The DofE programme is thriving at Pittville School with high student participation.

We are proud to say that our recent OFSTED inspection in 2025 cited that the school remains a 'Good' school, identifying how the school is an 'inclusive school' where “Pupils achieve highly, as reflected in published outcomes” and “Pupils are happy and feel safe in school. They behave well in lessons and around the school site.” We value our staff highly and have established a truly supportive environment where staff training and wellbeing is at the heart of all we do.
The successful candidate will be working with a supportive team of staff.
