Director of Sport (Maternity Cover)

We are looking to appoint an energetic, enthusiastic and effective Director of Sport to deliver the KS1 and KS2 Games and PE curriculum to our girls on a maternity basis from the beginning of Summer term (19 April 2022).

The successful candidate will join and lead our experienced team of professionals and will be expected to teach Games and PE to our pupils (Year 2 – Year 6) and be able to make a significant contribution across the major sports – hockey, netball, cricket, athletics and swimming.   The candidate will be committed to our high expectations and core values, contributing to the sporting success at Rowan. 

Rowan prides itself on the length and breadth of its sports provision.   The girls acquire knowledge, understanding and skills of a wide range of sports with fixtures, inter-house competitions and extra-curricular clubs available to support their learning.  We offer a diverse and inclusive programme of activities (including hockey, netball, athletics, gymnastics, cricket, badminton, swimming, dance) in which every pupil participates, through the curriculum, Master class and extra-curricular programme.   

Rowan competes in all major sports at regional and national levels; we are currently the IAPS U11 Hockey Regional Champions and U10 Gymnastic Champions, U11 Gladman Shield Netball Tournament winners.  We have been finalists at IAPS swimming national finals, ISGA U11 Gymnastics finalists, IAPS District Athletics finalists and Surrey Acro winners for the last two years.  We also have several county and club players representing the school. 

Further details can be found Rowan Prep School.  The closing date for applications is 2 December.  However, we reserve the right to interview promising candidates before the closing date so early application is recommended.   

Rowan Preparatory School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure Barring Service.
