What skills and experience we're looking for
For April 2026, we are looking to appoint an enthusiastic teacher of Physical Education until at least August 2026 (one term). The ability to teach PE to GCSE and A Level is desirable, but not essential. In addition, the successful candidate will have the ability to offer a specialism in activities such as netball, hockey, gymnastics and athletics, to complement the specialist areas covered by the rest of the team and demonstrate a commitment to drive extra-curricular opportunities in physical education and school sport. A D1 category driving licence would also be desirable. Very importantly, we wish to appoint someone who works well in a team, has the ability to motivate students, is flexible, adaptable and can work under pressure without losing their all-important sense of humour.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone to join a very experienced and supportive department with a commitment to deliver Physical Education. We offer a very strong support programme for teachers who are starting their career and working towards ECT status or returning to teaching after a break.
