Job overview

Teacher of Physical Education 

Thank you for expressing an interest in the post of teacher of  physical education at Lavington School. This position is to cover a maternity leave, with the anticipated start date of January 2020.  This position is full time for the duration of the maternity leave, which maybe up to 1 year. This is a high achieving academy that is imaginative and creative in its approach to teaching and learning.  Staff training, development opportunities and career progression are key to our success. We benefit from a wonderful rural setting,  surrounded by beautiful and historic countryside.  The majority of our students live in nearby villages, and thrive in our supportive, positive, nurturing, environment, achieving academic excellence for all. 

We are fully committed to providing high quality education for children whatever their age.  We are at an exciting phase in our development.  In April 2019 we formed Equa Multi Academy Trust with five local rural primary schools to provide an all through education system.  In addition, we are in our second year of  delivering sixth form education, as a satellite of Devizes School.  The sixth form is expanding, with an increase in numbers and wider range of courses offered here.

This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious and motivated teacher to gain experience of working in an excellent and supportive school.

The closing date for applications is Monday 23 September 2019 and interviews will be held week beginning 20 September 2019.

At Lavington School we pride ourselves on providing a secure, stable and well-ordered environment based on high educational standards and genuine care and concern for individuals. We work with all students, whatever their ability, to help them achieve their potential.  

We aim for students to leave Lavington School as confident young people, ready to take on new challenges with a lifelong love of  learning.  Our students will have resilience and resourcefulness and the wisdom to treat others with respect and courtesy, and this forms the foundation of our ethos. 

Our exam results have regularly been in the top 5% nationally and OFSTED judged the school to be 'Good with Outstanding Features' in July 2014. Important as academic achievement is, there is much more to life at Lavington School. We are well known for our successes in sports and outdoor pursuits as well as excelling in art, music and drama. 

Many students are involved in charitable work and community projects both within school and the wider community. We are proud of our achievements at Lavington School, but there is always more we can do. By working together, we can shape a future for our young people in which they achieve more than they dreamed possible.

Lavington School is identified as being one of the most successful schools in the country and has been highly rated by Ofsted.  At the heart of this success are the core values that I and the whole school community believe are important:

  • Excellent teaching by experienced, specialist teachers
  • Individual care through an excellent pastoral system
  • High levels of achievement through a challenging academic curriculum chosen to give students the best life chances
  • Innovation in all aspects of education
  • Traditional values of behaviour, appearance and conduct 
  • Developing personal leadership through a wide programme of extra-curricular activities.
