This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. The amendments to the ROA 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975, (2013 and 2020)) provide that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’, so they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.

This check will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children.

About Us

The Dorset Studio School is a thriving, mainstream 11-16 co-ed secondary school situated within the superb facilities and exceptional teaching environment of the 750-acre Kingston Maurward estate. Studio Schools champion academic excellence alongside the development of a student employability profile. Our learners leave us with an impressive blend of skills and knowledge, perhaps evidenced by destinations and employment rates significantly above national averages for other schools. We have recently opened a temporary, second, KS4 site, just a few miles away on the beautiful Poundbury development within the county town of Dorchester. This, whilst we await the building of our new school, on the same Kingston Maurward site, due for completion during 2026.

Our students…

Typically aspire to careers related to Equine, Veterinary Science, Environmental Science, Agriculture or Travel for example; though in practice also progress on to a host of other Level 3 pathways or careers. Our year 11 leavers move on to local college courses, A Levels in school sixth forms, apprenticeships’ or indeed employment.

Our progress

The Dorset Studio School progress score has consistently placed us among the better performing secondary schools in Dorset. Students often make more progress with us than is the case in many of the long established and much larger schools within the County. Dorset Studio School achieves the best Studio School progress scores south of London. We are an inclusive school. All students follow a demanding academic curriculum with the majority working towards nine GCSE qualifications.  This is complemented with an incrementally phased work experience commitment allowing the students to develop both the soft and technical employability skills that they will need to be able to flourish in a competitive market. Our staff is extremely dedicated, caring, professional and innovative.
