It’s people first at Dukes, starting with our pupils; encompassing our parents, and celebrating our staff. We look for people who put their heart into what they do, and then help them to lead.
Ultimately, great education is simple: quality teachers, spending quality time with students. We recognise that individuals in a family are not all the same. Each of our schools and organisations has its own, unique take on how to deliver outstanding teaching and learning. Each has its own brand, ethos, history, its own special place in the community. We love this and we want to keep it this way. But there is also commonality. At Dukes, we’re a family, our shared purpose and values form our common thread.
At Dukes, we are firm believers that nurturing closer relationships between people is the best way to help bring these learning experiences about and enable the education community to thrive. Dukes is more than a collection of excellent individuals. We are a community of people – educators, parents, and young learners – who connect in closer ways to raise the bar for all. Being part of Dukes means belonging to a family that is there for the long run. We strive together and we celebrate together. It’s a community for sharing and growth. And for those who share our purpose and our values, it’s a home, where extraordinary things can happen.

No-one knows their school better than the Principal or Head who runs it. And no-one cares more about it than they do. So we make sure they lead on every decision, preserving the individual character and ethos of their schools. We look for leaders who are still children at heart; people who love the fun — as well as the fundamentals — of the classroom. These are the people who shaped the direction of Dukes from the very beginning, and continue to shape it to this day. And we do our very best to look after these people, because we know they’re the most important asset we have.
Individually we can achieve amazing things, but together we’re extraordinary. So, while each of our schools is independent, they’re strengthened by being part of a family that shares resources and expertise. The best teams are made up of autonomous indidividuals. Our management structure has no more than four levels from our board of directors to the most junior members of our team. This means everyone knows where they fit in the bigger picture — and they have the freedom and flexibility to act quickly, and make decisions for their school.
We know that if we want to inspire excellence in young learners, then we need to achieve excellence in everything we do. One way we accomplish this is by working closely with regulatory authorities and inspection bodies to ensure everyone in the Dukes family delivers the highest possible standards. Additionally, the members of the Dukes Education Advisory Board come together regularly to discuss recent and future developments across the group. Their expert support and guidance not only helps us meet best-practice standards, it encourages us to set newer, higher standards for all.
We believe education should be exciting at any stage, whether you’re starting school, or you’re running one. So we’re driven to instil our lifelong love of learning in our students — through teaching inside the classroom and, outside, through our initiatives. We also provide extensive staff training, leadership and management programmes, so our teachers can continue their education too.
We are always looking for extraordinary people to join our schools and support teams. Our current central team vacancies can be found above. If you are interested in joining any of our schools and organisations you can visit their websites or you can just send us you CV and we’ll see what fits.
Send us your CVA child’s first years are absolutely critical; this precious period of time will have an extraordinary impact on the rest of their life. The foundations of a healthy, happy adult are laid in our nursery classrooms; their future – and our future – will be shaped by what we do today.
At Dukes Education we are committed to providing the very best training and development opportunities for our staff and new recruits in the Early Years sector. That’s why we have launched Little Dukes Training Academy, based at our premises in south-west London. We want to foster and encourage educators who will establish a golden standard of Early Years education, not just within the Dukes family but across the whole sector. Whether it’s training as a Montessori guide or an Early Years practitioner, the LDTA is our way of establishing excellence in Early Years.
