What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic professional who can demonstrate a high level of motivation and commitment. The successful candidate will be able to teach all aspects of the PE curriculum, including GCSE PE and have the ability to inspire and enthuse young people and deliver outstanding lessons at Key Stage 3 and 4, including Dance. The post is ideally suited to an ECT, however RQTs and more experienced teachers will be considered.
What the school offers its staff
Uffculme is a happy and friendly school with high ambitions for every student. We are fully inclusive but are relentless in our determination that every child should fulfil their potential. Our reputation and outcomes speak for themselves, and although we are regularly the top performing comprehensive school in the region, we refuse to be complacent. We want to be the best school we possibly can be and are always looking for ways in which we can develop and improve.
PE is a key part of our success story both in terms of the outstanding outcomes that students achieve, and the high levels of participation that are seen across all year groups. In recent years GCSE PE students have typically achieved two grades above the national expectations for their ability, with extremely high numbers regularly participating in extra-curricular sport and activities each week. A full contribution to the department’s extensive extra-curricular programme will therefore be expected. The ability to drive a minibus, whilst not essential, would be advantageous.
If you share these aspirations and believe you can contribute to our continued success, I would be delighted to receive your application. In return we can offer you support from an excellent team of colleagues where morale is high, and there are fantastic facilities with young people who genuinely want to learn.
If you decide to take your application further, please complete the application form and support it with a letter of application which relates your training, experience and philosophy to this post. The closing date for receipt of applications is 9.30am Thursday 30th May 2024.
If you wish to visit the school before and learn more about what we have to offer, or if you have any questions, please contact Miss Carla Dunnett (Head of PE) on 01884 840458 or email dunnettc@uffculmeschool.bep.ac
Commitment to safeguarding
Uffculme School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We particularly welcome applications from under represented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion.
As part of our due diligence process when shortlisting, we may carry out an online search of publicly available material to identify any incidents or issues which we might want to explore with the applicant at interview.
