Teacher of Girls' PE

We wish to employ from September 2019 a well-qualified,  enthusiastic and committed female Teacher of Physical Education who can deliver high quality Physical Education across all key stages. We seek an effective team member who can also take the lead and show initiative. A strength in delivering netball and hockey would be an advantage. The post is permanent and full time. The position would suit an NQT or experienced teacher.

This is an excellent opportunity to join one of Oxfordshire’s largest and most successful schools judged ‘Outstanding by OFSTED in the latest inspection. Effective  administrative systems support the two sites.  Students are well-behaved and motivated, and there is a strong sense of community in Thame, with a committed parent support base.

We are exceptionally strong in terms of pastoral support for all students and have the highest     expectations for individual achievement whatever the starting points. Outside the classroom there are wonderful extra-curricular activities for all.  Students leave the school successful and well-rounded individuals. There is a ‘buzz’ about learning in the school and our students are fortunate to be supported in their learning by dedicated teachers and support staff. Staff training and             professional development are always a developmental priority and many of our staff move on to promotions in other schools.

The School

The school is the only school serving the market town of Thame and surrounding villages. It is a popular school and always oversubscribed. It is a split site school – Years 7-9 on our Lower School site and Years 10 -13 on our Upper School site. There are around 500 students in our Sixth Form and we attract many students from other schools, post-16. Teamwork is a key feature of school life and so is partnership with our feeder primary schools. There is a strong drive to establish powerful curriculum links cross phase with teachers collaborating on a range of projects.

The Physical Education Faculty

Physical Education is a major strength at Lord Williams’s School; the school has a deserved      reputation for sporting excellence both locally and nationally.  The Physical Education Faculty   comprises ten highly qualified and experienced specialists, led by a Head of Faculty and              Co-ordinators for Key Stages 3 and 4.  We were designated as a specialist Sports College from      September 2001, developing strong and well established links with partnership schools and the  local community.  There is administrative support for the Physical Education Faculty and two   Technicians.  

The faculty structure is as follows:
