About this Role

We are looking to appoint an outstanding teacher of PE to join our dynamic and successful department.

Our Physical Education faculty is highly experienced, with a proven track record of outstanding examination results. Our GCSE PE results consistently rank in the top 1% nationally, and our vocational outcomes are also among the very best in the country.

We offer a broad and ambitious core PE curriculum and at KS4/5 offer both GCSE and A-Level PE, alongside Cambridge National and Cambridge Technical Sport courses. Our curriculum is underpinned by a clear intent to foster a love of physical activity and promote lifelong participation in sport and healthy living for all students.

This is an exciting time to join the team. We have recently installed a brand-new, state-of-the-art fitness suite, further enhancing our sports facilities and strengthening our well-established partnership with the local gym, Full Power Fitness. As part of the role, you\’ll have free access to both our on-site fitness suite and Full Power Fitness.

We also pride ourselves in an extensive extracurricular programme, with sports clubs running every evening after school. Students can take part in a wide range of sports including football, basketball, netball, gymnastics, and gym club. Many of our sessions are led by external coaches, thanks to our strong partnerships with local sports clubs and community organisations.

Beyond the classroom, we provide memorable enrichment opportunities, including trips and tours. Highlights from recent years include our Football and Netball Tour to Venice in 2024, an annual ski trip to Austria as well as stadium tours at Manchester City and Liverpool FC.

We welcome applications from both experienced teachers or Early Career Teachers (ECTs) who feel they can bring energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for PE, sport science and promoting physical activity. A strong commitment to supporting extra-curricular sport and enrichment opportunities is essential.

Early application is strongly encouraged as we reserve the right to interview and close the advert ahead of the closing date.
