What skills and experience we're looking for
An excellent opportunity for a suitably qualified and enthusiastic teacher of Physical Education for boys, to teach within our Performance Studies Faculty on a full-time basis, from September 2024.

We are looking for someone to contribute to the work of a team who is successful in fostering each student’s interest, ability and confidence in Physical Education.
What the school offers its staff
We are all very proud of the transformations that we have made in our school. Our last Ofsted inspection in July 2023 secured ‘Good’ grades across the board. We were praised for being a ‘caring, inclusive school’, with ‘high expectations’, ‘warm and respectful relationships… between students and staff’, an ‘ambitious’ curriculum and ‘staff reported they are proud of their school’ and ‘are given opportunities to develop as professionals’. They also report that ‘leaders manage staff workload well.’
Our students are lovely which explains why so many staff have worked in the school for such a long time! Because we have clear and effective behaviour systems, which centre around building healthy personal relationships, students know what is expected of them. They want to do well; they participate in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities and they get on well with their teachers. Supply teachers frequently say Ridgewood is one of the nicest schools they visit.
At every level, school leaders are visible, dynamic and supportive. We are proud that our leaders have been working effectively across Stour Vale Academy Trust, training new teachers and collaborating on improvement projects. A number of Ridgewood staff have secured promotions this year and last year, showing that our leadership development is strong.
Commitment to safeguarding
Stour Vale is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will carry out pre-appointment checks including DBS and will disqualify any applicant where we consider the outcomes to be unsatisfactory. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974.
We are equally committed to ensuring that no applicant will be disadvantaged or discriminated against because of their protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.
