In recent years, the school has made a huge investment in new buildings and facilities. The Physical Education area has great facilities, which consist of a gym, a sports hall, the use of the main hall, extensive playing fields within our grounds, including floodlit football pitches, hard court areas marked out for netball and tennis, and outside cricket nets. Additionally the main playground has been recently refurbished so that it now provides six superb basketball or football courts marked for students to use both within and outside of lesson time.
The department has an excellent reputation both within the school and local area and is extremely proud of its students and their achievements. The school believes strongly in developing healthy, active lifestyles in the school community, while also striving for excellence in sporting achievements.
Many of our students are very talented and go on to achieve success locally, nationally and even at international levels. There are inter-school and inter-form competitions run throughout the year and we are a dedicated curriculum area for fixtures and extra-curricular activities.
Students at Weydon are respectful and responsive, and are proud to uphold the strong values of the school. Colleagues and the leadership team are highly supportive and all staff benefit from our extensive CPD programme organised in conjunction with our teaching school.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic, motivated male PE teacher to join our outstanding curriculum area of dedicated PE teachers, and to deliver a broad range of extra-curricular activities.

About Weydon Multi Academy Trust (WMAT)
In 2017, when a group of local headteachers wanted to work together to create even better opportunities for their students and staff, the Trust was formed.
There are currently seven schools in the Trust – three special schools (The Abbey School, The Park School and The Ridgway) together with four secondaries (Farnham Heath End, Rodborough, Weydon and Woolmer Hill School) all within the Farnham and Haslemere area. As a Trust, we are very positive about the difference we are making. As individual schools it is important that we retain the local context and identity of our unique academies, however we are ‘Stronger Together’ and joining our Trust means that you will also have the benefit of working with colleagues across the MAT. The benefits of working together and the support that you will receive will ensure that, in your career with WMAT, you will develop not only the staff you lead or the students you teach but also yourself. Our ambition is clear: to make WMAT a Trust that is outstanding both for the students that learn here and also for the staff that work here. All our academies are full and oversubscribed, a glowing endorsement of our success. Thank you for your interest in this position. We are inspired by the brilliant people who work in our Trust. Why not make an application to be part of a really positive organisation?
