What the school offers its staff
We are located on the West of Portsmouth and access is easy from the M27 or A27. Many staff commute easily from Southampton, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and West Sussex either by car or by public transport.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed teacher of girls PE to cover a teacher on maternity leave. As the academy continues to grow it is very possible that a permanent position will become available in the very near future. We are ideally looking for somebody who is either already a proven excellent practitioner or who is committed, with support, to become excellent and importantly is relentless in their enthusiasm for their subject and for children learning and enjoying physical education.
At Miltoncross, we are on an exciting journey to become the very best. We have high expectations of ourselves and our students. We provide a strong well-rounded education that has attainment at its heart. We take a warm, compassionate approach, with strong consistent systems that serve our young people well, and lead to good behaviour in classrooms. The successful candidate will be knowledgeable in their subject and will be somebody who stays abreast of current thinking in PE teaching and PE pedagogy because they love their subject and want children to love it too. They, like all of us, will be relentless in their desire to ensure that students at Miltoncross far outstrip their peers locally and nationally in sport and PE.
Miltoncross is a cheerful place to work where everybody pulls in the same direction and works hard to ensure that we give our students the excellent service that they deserve.

To achieve this we use a sensible and effective marking strategy, centralised assessments, resources and knowledge organisers. We also operate with a very open mind for any staff to be able to share how we might do things more effectively and efficiently.
