Head of PE

A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to join the PE team in our forward thinking and aspirational school based in Warwickshire’s beautiful, medieval market town of Henley-in-Arden. You will be leading our high performing PE department which provides strong results, engaging experiences and is an exceptionally popular choice for our students. Visits to our green-field site, bordered by the River Alne, are welcome (and encouraged!) so that you may see for yourself why Ofsted describe our flourishing students as, ‘friendly, welcoming and happy’ and our staff as’ overwhelmingly positive’ about their roles (December 2022).  Come and join our experienced and high performing PE department.

We are proud to be part of the Arden Multi-Academy trust, partnered with three other schools in the local area including Arden Academy in Knowle. This support mechanism ensures that leaders collaborate and innovate together to provide an outstanding educational experience for our school, and provides continuous opportunity for further development for our staff.

We’re looking forward to reading letters of application from teachers who are looking for an exciting new challenge to impact the lives of our students. You’ll be joining our ever-improving school, which year on year ensures all our students are prepared for the next step in their education

We promise to offer you both a stimulating and highly rewarding experience in return for your motivational skills and good practice. Opportunities don’t arise very often to work in a vibrant school like Henley in Arden and we are delighted to be offering the chance for someone to join the team.

In return, we can offer you:

• A positive and innovative learning culture supported by students, staff, parents and governors
• A collaborative and supportive attitude amongst staff, which promotes a sense of teamwork and unity
• A Senior Leadership team that is committed to promoting the best environment and outcomes for staff and students
• Cycle to Work scheme
• The potential to collaborate and work with other staff in our Multi-Academy Trust
