It’s the people that make us special.

It is the people who make us special. Our staff are skilled practitioners, each with a passion for the Foundation.

Our teachers and coaches love their subject or sport and have a strong desire to inspire the pupils they teach.

By creating inspiring lessons that expose pupils to a range of media and learning styles, they aim to help young people of all abilities develop learning habits that will not only lead to examination success but also stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives.

In addition to their own subject specialisms, our staff bring a diverse range of talents and contacts to the Foundation, helping to enrich School life — from arranging special trips, sporting events and learning challenges to staging concerts, exhibitions and School plays.

Our support staff strive to provide the best possible experience for our pupils and staff. They are an essential part of our Schools’ operations and work across estates, administration, IT, finance, marketing, technical support and learning support, to name just a few areas.

We are committed to staff development, and our staff benefit from a CPD programme designed to support their growth both within the classroom and beyond it.

We greatly value the contribution made by volunteers, pupils and those undertaking work placements. If you are interested in volunteering at Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation, or have any other queries regarding recruitment, please contact hr@dcsf.org.uk.
