What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint a passionate and ambitious PE Teacher to join our dynamic PE Department in Dorset’s top-performing school.
This is an exciting opportunity to teach across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 within a supportive and forward thinking team, committed to academic excellence and high-quality teaching.
Our students are motivated, hardworking, and eager to excel, creating a positive and purposeful learning environment. The successful candidate will be an excellent PE practitioner with strong subject knowledge and a passion for inspiring participation, achievement, and a lifelong enjoyment of sport and physical activity.
We welcome applications from both experienced teachers and Early Career Teachers. A comprehensive programme of support, mentoring, and professional development is in place to ensure all staff thrive.

What the school offers its staff
The Woodroffe School is a vibrant and rewarding place to work, where dedicated professionals share a deep commitment to high-quality teaching and learning, and where students flourish both in and beyond the classroom.
As an 11–18 Local Authority maintained secondary school, we are proud to uphold a strong culture of teacher professionalism and autonomy. We believe that, in order to genuinely meet students’ needs, teachers must be empowered to drive curriculum planning and classroom practice; centrally imposed, one-size-fits-all approaches simply do not work.
Our aim is to develop the whole child. Built on rigorous academic foundations and enriched by a wide-ranging extracurricular programme, our curriculum supports students to succeed not only academically, but also as confident, thoughtful, and engaged members of society.
We are one of only 34 Maths Hub schools in the country.
