Main Scale/UPR

We are seeking to appoint an inspiring and energetic Female Teacher of Physical Education to join us as maternity cover from 1 January to 31 August 2026. Our PE department prides itself on delivering a high quality and diverse curriculum.

The successful candidate will be an outstanding teaching practitioner or aspire to be, who has the ability to enthuse our pupils with a passion for the subject and encourage them to become independent learners. Experience of teaching GCSE PE and Cambridge National Sports Studies would be a benefit but this is not essential.  A willingness to participate in departmental extra-curricular activities is also essential.

We are looking for candidates who will raise attainment in the department, assisting our pupils to achieve excellence.
