What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint a well-qualified and passionate teacher to our excellent Physical Education team. This is an exciting opportunity to work within a high achieving school, with mature and well behaved students and where Physical Education is highly valued as a core subject. The appointed applicant will be part of a department that teaches all our students through to GCSE, and retains strong numbers through to A Level.
This post would suit an application from an early career teacher who would benefit enormously from strong mentoring, or alternatively from an experienced teacher who is looking to develop their skills in a new setting. The successful candidate will need to be able to teach across all age ranges and abilities up to and including A Level. The ability to teach another subject would be desirable but not essential.
The newly appointed candidate will be working in a committed and successful team which regularly achieve success at city and regional level. We have invested heavily in our Physical Education facilities. Students have access to large and well maintained playing fields, a newly refurbished astro-turf, modernised changing facilities and a well equipped sports centre which includes its own fully fitted gym. The school has a strong tradition of extra-curricular provision which we are determined to maintain. Therefore, it is crucial that the applicant shares this commitment.
