Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
Crestwood Community School is one school, with two campuses serving central Eastleigh. We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and ambitious female teacher for our PE department to start September 2026. PE sits within the Physical and Creative Arts faculty. It is an exceptionally upbeat and innovative faculty. It is cohesive, team spirited and very well led. Option choices at GCSE and vocational courses across the faculty are high with PE’s popularity at Key Stage 4 continuing to increase. We are seeking someone who will be ambitious for our students, and has a vision for the development of PE in our curriculum. The challenge for the successful applicants will be to contribute to further developing an already strong subject and continue to raise standards at KS3, GCSE and Vocational courses. We are looking for an inspirational teacher who will drive extra-curricular and contribute to our forward-thinking and inclusive curriculum.
This role would suit an experienced teacher or an ECT looking for their first post after qualifying.
The Physical and Creative Arts Faculty encompasses PE, Art, Music, Drama and Dance and is a leading faculty across both campuses. The Achievement Leader of PCA is talented, enthusiastic, approachable and highly supportive. She works with the faculty to promote collaborative planning, enhance teaching and learning and to drive up standards of achievement and attainment.
The faculty has a clear focus on developing students' love of learning in the Physical and Creative Arts as well as working on the development of skills and knowledge for the transition of students from Key Stage 3 and into Key Stage 4 ensuring all students are well prepared and successful in their subjects.
The faculty comprises an Achievement Leader working with two Assistant Achievement Leaders and 14 main scale teachers. They are a cohesive team and have a strong command of their subject. PE, and the extracurricular activities offered by the department, are really enjoyed by students.
Our Head Teacher has a clear vision and an absolute determination to improve the provision of education across Eastleigh.
For the successful candidate, a commitment to raising standards and a passion for developing young adults is essential: this entails a commitment to all learners, to excellence for all, and a belief that a good school makes a significant difference to learners’ life chances, levels of attainment and the wellbeing of the community as a whole.
We care deeply about our school, the staff, the students and the community we serve, we are a school with a heart. We as a school are clear about our improvement agenda and we work cohesively as a school wide team. As this was our fifth consecutive “good” grading it demonstrates that at Crestwood we are continually providing a consistent quality in all we do, against a backdrop of tougher standards and criteria to be judged against.
What the school offers its staff
Crestwood Community School had an Ofsted inspection in February 2024, which confirmed that we continue to be a ‘good’ school. The report stated that at Crestwood “there is a welcoming, friendly atmosphere”. They also said that “teachers and support staff, including those in the early stages of their career, are proud to work at the school. They particularly value school leader's careful consideration of their workload and well-being so that they can focus their efforts fully on pupils’ education.” In addition Ofsted report that “many pupils, staff and parents describe the school as a ‘big family’. This is a happy school, where staff and students want to be. The #Crestwoodfamily pervades through everything we do.
Our Head Teacher has a clear vision and an absolute determination to improve the provision of education across Eastleigh.

• free lunch every day
• half termly cooked breakfasts
• accrued inset days, taken as twilights, giving staff an additional 4 days off a year

• weekly thank you bulletin
• birthday cards
• heads discretionary leaves of absence for family events

As a new member of staff you will be well supported: we have a comprehensive induction process, and you will be given an Induction Mentor and a ‘professional buddy’. Crestwood prides itself on developing its staff through bespoke coaching and training. Many members of the faculty have been successful in gaining promotion within the school.
