Dulwich College is a leading independent day and boarding school for boys aged 7–18, located in South London, recognised for its excellent facilities, strong academic standards, outstanding pastoral care and a rich co‑curricular programme.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Key Stage 2 Teacher to join the Junior School from September 2026. The successful candidate will teach across KS2 as a Form Tutor, working within the College’s curriculum and policies to plan, prepare and deliver engaging, well‑structured lessons that provide appropriate challenge and support for all pupils. The role involves assessing and monitoring progress, giving timely and constructive feedback, writing reports, and discussing pupils’ development with parents.
As a Form Tutor, you will take responsibility for the wellbeing, personal development and day‑to‑day support of pupils, fostering positive relationships, high standards of behaviour and an inclusive classroom environment. You will work closely with colleagues across the Junior School, including Learning Support staff and Senior Leaders, to ensure pupils are well supported both academically and pastorally.
Teachers are expected to contribute actively to the wider life of the school. This includes running at least one lunchtime and one after‑school club each week, supporting curriculum and enrichment activities, assisting with outings and residential trips, and attending assemblies, meetings, INSET, parents’ evenings and key school events. There are also occasional Saturday commitments for Open Days and admissions activities.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive and collaborative Junior School team, where staff are encouraged to develop professionally, share good practice and contribute positively to the life of the College.
