Further details about the role We are a busy, vibrant, and happy school – academically successful but driven to achieve much more. We believe that education must maintain a balance between intellect and character. An outstanding education is not either/or. It is both. We believe that qualifications are what students get; they do not define who they are and will play only a part in shaping the people they become. Our academic curriculum therefore is only a part of what we do. At the Folkestone School for Girls, students do not complete an excessive number of qualifications. This allows them not only time to focus efforts on achieving the absolute best grades within these, but also time to participate in our huge array of co-curricular activities in school and/or pursue interests & hobbies out of school. There is time to spend with friends and family and time, too, to just be a child. A justifiable balance between intellect and character. We welcome applications from teachers ready to think outside the box and be passionate about offering students a well rounded school experience. Commitment to safeguarding Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff, volunteers and trustees to share this commitment. Our recruitment process follows the keeping children safe in education guidance.
