Job overview
We are seeking an exceptional PE & Sports Coach to join the amazing team at our happy, thriving school and champion a programme of high-quality PE and sports lessons under the umbrella of our ethos of Love ∙ Care ∙ Excellence.
The successful candidate will (ideally) hold a degree in physical education, coaching, sports science or sports studies or (alternatively) at least a Level 3 sports coaching qualification.
He or she will invariably enjoy the buzz of working with young children and have experience in devising sessions for them which are fun, engaging, progressive and reflective of their needs. There is substantial freedom and flexibility for creativity in shaping the role.
Although the role is part-time at approximately 70% (3.5 days/week), with afternoons being short (1-3.30pm) or extended to include running an after-school club (until 5pm) as it suits, we would be happy to consider a full-time position if that is desirable.
We offer a very friendly and supportive atmosphere as well as competitive salaries.

About Herne Hill School
Herne Hill School is a well-established independent Pre-Preparatory and Pre-School in South London. It is the largest stand-alone independent school in the country focusing exclusively on Early Childhood Education for two-year-olds through to Year 2.
Since its foundation in 1976, it has had only one purpose: providing young children with the best possible start for a successful and balanced academic life. There are about 300 pupils on roll, split into the Kindergarten at our new, dedicated and state-of-the art site at 99 Herne Hill, which then feeds into Pre-Reception, Reception, Year 1 and ultimately Year 2 classes at our main site at 127 Herne Hill.
There are approximately 70 staff members (about 25 teachers and peripatetic instructors, 40 teaching assistants and five support staff), who are overseen by the Headteacher, Ngaire Telford, and the Director/Proprietor, Dominik Magyar. Everyone works towards fulfilling our common purpose:
“At Herne Hill School, we prepare young children for life …
by providing the finest individual education …
… based on a bedrock of love and care.”
The school’s ethos of Love ∙ Care ∙ Excellence encapsulates our commitment to excellence and our belief that love and care are prerequisites for a top-quality education. The school’s atmosphere lives this philosophy. It is a caring, friendly, fun, supportive and well-resourced environment conducive to optimal learning and development.
Our website and the last ISI inspection report, which can also be found there, provide a good overview of our values, approach to teaching and learning and modus operandi.
