What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for someone who can teach female PE. In KS3, all pupils have 3 hours of PE a fortnight. Each band of 90 children has 3 groups: 1 x Male PE, 1 x Female PE and 1 x Mixed PE. At KS4, in addition to two Sports Studies groups (mixed gender), all pupils have a core offer of 4 hours per fortnight. I think this makes us quite unusual and we protect this time – it is not used for revision, for additional study and all pupils participate. We are partners with Manchester City in the Community who work with us 3 days a week and are currently working with their coaches on developing our girls’ football team. We believe healthy lifestyles impact positively on physical and mental wellbeing and this is why we invest in the core offer and the specialist pathways.
What the school offers its staff
If you visit the school, I would hope you would notice the warm, welcoming environment; the excellent behaviour of the children; strong staff morale; a commitment to professional development of all staff; and a strong sense that this is a place where learning is valued.
We have been very proud during Covid to continue moving forward and we made some deliberate choices that enabled us to do this. We have developed our community wing of the school and are working closely with our charitable and voluntary organisations on social action and social justice projects. We believe in the beauty of civil society: of schools and community partners working together, ultimately benefiting the wellbeing and agency of communities. We would hope the successful applicant to participate in these opportunities.
We do work hard at the school but teacher’s timetables are generous and we do not have a culture of “meeting for meeting’s sake.” We are sensible with workload and expectations and are not afraid to stop if what we are doing is not having an impact on compelling learning.
As with any organisation, we do not get it right all of the time – but we make sure that we work in a non-judgemental environment and we focus our actions have to be for the benefit of the children.
Commitment to safeguarding
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful candidates will undergo an enhanced DBS check, checks of references and employment history.

Falinge Park High School is a large, over-subscribed, multicultural, inclusive comprehensive in Rochdale. There is a warm, welcoming atmosphere in the school and a positive ethos amongst the staff. We have created a culture which supports each other at every level rather than a tick-box approach to success.
Our core purpose is to secure the best academic and personal outcomes for all pupils and instil a life-long love of learning. This will ensure that all learners believe in themselves and their future, have choices and the power to make them and are able to contribute positively to society.
Empowering all to: ASPIRE, THRIVE, AND ACHIEVE
The Governors of Falinge Park High School have determined that the school should join the Watergrove Trust, a Rochdale-based multi-academy trust which aligns very positively with the Falinge Park values and mission. We hope to join the Watergrove community of two secondary and five primary schools in July 2024.
Watergrove is a part centralised trust which shares core processes but also honours the individual character of all its schools, so whilst benefiting from the collaborative opportunities of being in a trust, you will also be firmly part of the Falinge Park family
