Teacher of PE

Harefield School is an 11-18 comprehensive school. In our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2021, the inspector reported that: “The school was graded Good in all areas, the inspector reported that: “Pupils have a strong sense of right and wrong. They learn about equality and diversity through the programme for personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE). Pupils have high aspirations for their futures. They behave well in lessons, with minimal disruption to learning”. 

As a smaller than average school, we can get to know each student well and respond effectively to their learning needs as a result. Similarly, our staff work together in a collaborative, supportive and cohesive way with common purpose. We offer a comprehensive programme of continued professional development for teachers at all levels across the school, through numerous collaborative networks within the borough and   externally.
