What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic teacher of PE. Applicants will join a well led and supportive team of specialists who work collaboratively – sharing expertise and resources. We are proud of our sporting facilities, which include a full-sized astro pitch, two specialist indoor spaces and extensive outdoor areas to cater for field sports and athletics.
In PE, our curriculum is designed to embed a love of sport and promote an active lifestyle for all. Students engage in a wide range of sports developing confidence in their skills as well as an enjoyment for physical activity. Students can pursue a GCSE or BTEC qualification at KS4 and an A level or BTEC route at KS5. All students participate in core PE at KS4 where they follow an engaging program.
Physical Education within Altwood School provides a broad and balanced curriculum for students to uphold the schools’ gospel values and develop their range and quality of skills, decision making and physical attributes in a variety of sports. Students are inspired to be confident, independent and physically literate learners who are passionate about lifelong participation in physical activity. We aim to spark curiosity for the subject and a sense of responsibility, leadership and respect for others around them.
Alongside our strong curriculum we have an exciting enrichment programme which includes a variety of lunchtime clubs and after-school opportunities including fixtures. We are always looking for new opportunities and our enrichment offer this year has included girl’s self-defense and the creation of a Basketball team who have competed in their first fixture. This is alongside well established and well attended clubs for football, badminton and table tennis.
The PE department are great supporters of our weekly house competition, running inter house competition. The hotly contested Bench Ball competition is just one highlight.
We have strong links with the football academy at Bisham. This unique relationship provides our students with an opportunity to take advantage of additional coaching opportunities.
We are looking for someone who can add to our vibrant PE team, where every effort is made to ensure the young people feel known and valued and where sport provides an opportunity for everyone to succeed.
This is an exciting time to join a well-motivated PE team, and a great opportunity to be part of the next stage of development as we grow our department through collaborative planning to enrich our curriculum and provide inspiring experiences for our students.
