Teacher of PE (girls) job summary
Perhaps you’re an ECT – or maybe you’ve already gained some teaching experience? Either way, we understand why you joined the profession. You want to be an amazing teacher. You want to help every student, irrespective of their background or abilities, to succeed. In short, you want to make a positive difference to your students’ lives.
We also understand that to achieve your aims, you need outstanding support and development that’s shaped to meet your needs and aspirations. Like first-rate induction and CPD programmes that include cross-Trust collaborative opportunities.
Join us and you can look forward to all of that, as well as a clear focus on coaching and a mentoring system that’s proved to be highly successful in helping new staff to integrate quickly. What’s more, you’ll find a strong peer-to-peer support structure in place to share and develop each other’s skills – and ECTs are given additional support and time off timetable to do so (and we can employ you before the summer too!).
As for the culture here at Lode Heath, it’s all about working collaboratively and supporting each other to deliver exceptional teaching and learning for all our students. No where is this truer than in our PE Department. Here our motivated, innovative and talented team is driven by high aspirations and new ideas. And they support our broad curriculum by delivering core PE, GCSE PE and BTEC Sport, plus dance, Health & Social Care and Travel and Tourism!
We’re utilising fresh approaches to feedback which make best use of peer and self-assessment, AI and software to help students ‘close the gaps’. Plus, we are really focused on developing students’ wider skills like team working and leadership and offer a wide range of related extra-curricular opportunities such as our newly introduced Flight Club! We take part in a range of external events and competitions, and we also work closely with the Borough’s School Sports Partnership in both hosting and supporting their many events which further develop our students as well as contribute to the wider community. And we can boast that our students are SEND Pentathlon champions!
As a teacher, you will be an effective classroom practitioner who is ready to contribute to our successful team to ensure even higher attainment and more positive learning experiences for our students. You may already have some experience, or this might be your first position as a teacher, but your commitment and desire for excellence will be clear.
