Dove Green Private School (DGPS)
Dove Green Private School (DGPS) takes immense pride in being a British community school, offering a distinctive educational experience in the heart of Dubai Investment Park, near the Expo 2020 site. Our British educational values emphasise respect, tolerance, inclusivity, and a commitment to academic excellence, fostering well-rounded, globally minded individuals.
We are committed to cultivating an environment that celebrates the rich traditions of British education while fostering a global perspective. Our secondary school has just celebrated its excellent first set of iGCSE results and will open its Sixth Form in August 2026. As we expand into our new building with exceptional facilities, we continue to be an example of educational excellence, embodying the values of a happy, caring, and inclusive community school.
We provide a forward-thinking, innovative education beyond conventional boundaries. As the first UK curriculum school in the area, DGPS has earned a reputation for being at the forefront of educational innovation while maintaining its community ethos and catering to the needs of Dubai's rapidly expanding and developing south side.
We are looking for dynamic, caring, and empathetic educators who can teach, lead, and grow our GCSE and new A-Level and BTEC courses, becoming a key part of a progressive community school with one of the fastest-growing reputations in the region. As a key member of our newly expanded team, your role will ensure that the British ethos permeates every aspect of our educational approach, creating an environment where students excel academically and develop a global mindset aligned with the Dubai Education 33 strategy (E33), which aims to provide every student with a world-class education that meets the highest global standards and is rooted in Emirati values.
E33 embraces the rich multiculturalism that defines Dubai, ensuring that both heritage and diversity remain integral to the learning experience.
Candidates must be committed to working with the local community and developing ways to engage with parents and forge effective partnerships with them. The successful candidate will be closely aligned with DGPS's core values and ethos and be part of a community that blends the best of British education and E33 with a commitment to preparing students for success in a rapidly changing world while possessing a genuine understanding and appreciation of the region's values.
Above all, we are looking for astute, driven, and down-to-earth educators committed to fostering a culture of successful collaboration and progressive learning through our vision of learning together and growing together.
Parent feedback sums up our ethos, "Teachers know my child; they don't need to look at their laptop to tell me about their progress. That is the most amazing thing. Love the school and the teachers!"
If you are looking for an opportunity to work in a high achieving, happy, caring, and inclusive school with opportunities to develop then we would love to hear from you. Drive, enthusiasm, and a can do attitude are essential.
