The successful candidate will be joining a school which has high expectations of the students they teach. We currently teach PE to GCSE at Pittville School. The PE department is well-equipped with a gymnasium, dance studio, fitness suite and outdoor court and field areas. PE is an important part of life at Pittville School. It forms a key part of our teaching curriculum at KS3, and PE and dance are both popular option subjects. PE is offered as a GCSE or BTEC, depending upon the needs of each cohort. At present, we are in the process of securing funding and planning permission for a new sports hall, so in due course, the person appointed will be also involved in moving to these new facilities.
We are committed to an extensive extra-curricular programme with improving standards of success at school and county level. PE also plays a central part in the school house system, culminating in our whole school sports day. We are looking for a candidate with the passion to support our current extra-curricular provision.
An ability to work well in a team and demonstrate a dynamic, innovative and inspirational approach to teaching and learning is essential. The successful candidate will be working with a supportive team of staff and there will be opportunities to extend your own professional development. We welcome applications from a professional who will support the school to promote high standards of teaching and learning with the subject.
Pittville School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. A Disclosure and Barring Service check at enhanced level will be required. It is an offence to apply for the role if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relating to children.

About Pittville School
Pittville School is a vibrant, forward-looking and rapidly improving Foundation school in Cheltenham. It is our belief that every young person has gifts, talents and abilities and it is our aim to recognise and unlock each child’s potential and therefore maximise their life chances. Our priority is to work in partnership with parents and students to help them achieve the very best possible success. We firmly believe that each student should be challenged intellectually, creatively, personally and socially in preparation for their future life.
We recognise that good relationships are at the heart of the best education. To support high quality learning we ensure that the school has a well organised, happy, calm and disciplined environment. We uphold the traditional values of discipline, courtesy, good manners and respect. At Pittville School high standard of behaviour and appearance are expected both in and out of the classroom. We do not tolerate anything or anyone that prevents learning from taking place or brings the school into disrepute.
Pittville is a smaller than average school with approximately 900 students. We are a true comprehensive school and celebrate our diversity. We are proud of our calm, friendly atmosphere. Because of our size we are able to offer a level of personalised learning and pastoral support that is just not possible in some larger schools.
We look forward to welcoming you to ‘Team Pittville’ where every child really does matter.
