Job Details

Kitchen Porter - The Dragon School, Oxford

As one of the country’s leading independent schools, the Dragon places high expectations on all its staff and demands that the whole community works together to ensure that the School remains at the forefront of educational excellence and innovation. Although the Dragon is the UK’s largest co-educational boarding and day preparatory school with 580 day pupils and 250 boarders, its deeply personalised approach to each child and its ethos of inclusivity, openness and tolerance encourages day pupils and boarders to enrich each other’s school experience. Understanding the meaning of community, developing an awareness of wider society and acquiring the essential qualities of kindness, emotional intelligence, respect and responsibility are central to the School’s all-round educational offer. The Dragon is non-selective on admission and prides itself on outstanding academic, pastoral and co-curricular outcomes for pupils in its pre-preparatory department, Lynams, (for pupils aged 4-7 years) and in its preparatory department (8-13 years).

Main Purpose:

The Porting Team are required to help keep the Kitchen running smoothly by making sure all areas are clean, tidy, safe and providing an hygienic environment for the chefs to work in.  You will have specific responsibility for the Plate Wash and Pot Wash areas and the cleaning of all major kitchen equipment.

Company

The Dragon School was founded in 1877 to educate the sons of dons.  From these modest beginnings the School has grown to be an internationally renowned independent day and boarding preparatory school for over 600 boys and girls aged 8 to 13.  In September 1995 the School (which has charitable status) opened a pre-prep called Lynams on the Woodstock Road for about 200 more children aged 4 to 7.


The Dragon was inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in November 2014 and was found to be “Excellent” in all areas of teaching and pastoral care and “Exceptional” with regard to “The Quality of Pupils’ Achievements and Learning”.


The staff of over 300 full and part time individuals includes 120 teachers, 35 visiting music and learning support teachers, 30 teaching assistants, 35 pastoral staff and 90 support and administrative staff.  A further range of individuals provide sports coaching and specialist services on a contract basis.
