The Market Bosworth School is very proud of its students and staff. We have excellent academic standards and work hard to create a safe and enjoyable learning environment for all. We have been rated as an “Outstanding” school by Ofsted in 2009, 2012 & 2018. This is an exciting time for The Market Bosworth School as we build on our incredible GCSE successes of the past three years. In 2018 over 89% of students achieved 4+ GCSE passes in English and Maths. Progress and achievement is outstanding across our curriculum and PE is key to this, with a 2018 GCSE 4+ pass rate of 95% and a subject progress index of 0.92. 

We are ideally placed for commuting from a wide area, being situated about twenty minutes from Leicester in the rural and picturesque village of Market Bosworth. Whilst the majority of our staff live within Leicestershire, we have a number who commute daily from Warwickshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire.

The Market Bosworth School is incredibly successful; a fantastic place to teach and learn. PE, in particular, plays a huge part in that success. This post is an ideal opportunity for an outstanding teacher to lead our dynamic and enthusiastic PE team. Teaching PE at The Market Bosworth School will involve teaching motivated students in smaller than average size groups. The department consists of four dedicated teachers (2 Male / 2 Female), who share and provide innovative and engaging lessons. The successful candidate will be joining us at an exciting stage in our development. As an outstanding KS3 school, from September 2014 we admitted KS4 students to become an outstanding 11-16 school. Our first three years of GCSE results have been exceptional, with whole school progress figures of 0.30, 0.35 and 0.80 (provisional) in 2016, 2017 & 2018 respectively. Our inclusive and caring ethos means that every single student achieves to a high standard. In 2018, 95% of our PE students achieved GCSE passes at 9 to 4. 

During their time at The Market Bosworth School, students have 4 one hour PE lessons across their two week timetable at KS3. For KS4, many choose to take GCSE PE as an option, and we also provide the Level 2 VCert in Health and Fitness, where we believe it is the more appropriate route for an individual student. All KS4 students continue to have at least 1 hour of core PE per week.  Currently, students are taught in single sex groups at KS3, loosely based by ability. The department prides itself on making PE fun and students enjoy going to their lessons. Extra-curricular opportunities are vast and a huge number of students are given the opportunity to compete and represent their school in a wide range of sports. The department benefits from a strong range of facilities including Sports Hall, extensive fields, Tennis courts, Swimming Pool, Dance Studio and PE classroom.
