The department offers a wide range of sports in the core PE curriculum which all students study in Years 7 to 11 for four hours a fortnight. We are committed to this in order to help develop a love for being active and leading a healthy lifestyle.

There are also two PE staff rooms to aid collaboration. The Curriculum Team Leader is well supported by a second in department and the wider team. There is strong collaboration and support amongst the team, with joint planning and CPD at the centre of team meetings.

This is an exciting time to be joining a successful department as they look to develop even further.  We are looking for a hardworking, energetic and enthusiastic person to contribute to the further development of this area.

Sackville is a popular and oversubscribed large, mixed, 11-18 comprehensive with 1700 students on roll.  It is an exceptionally friendly and supportive community built on strong relationships which allow every student to thrive.
