PE Teacher (Maternity Cover)

Are you an energetic and passionate PE Teacher, eager for your first, or next teaching role?  

The PE department at Bishop’s Stortford College are a hardworking, dynamic and vibrant department. They are the largest department in the school and unlike many of our subjects, the team teach across all three schools within the College.  This means that they have the opportunity to make sport fun in our Early Years Foundation Stage, and instill a love that lasts until they are, in some cases, playing at county and even country level in their later school years.  Embedding a love of sport and exercise is fundamental in our mission to build confidence for life.

The team comprises the Director of Sport, Heads of Sports, PE teachers, PGCE students and Graduate Assistants as well as a multitude of external sports coaches that supplement the delivery of an excellent sports provision. The department is forward thinking and creative in how they deliver the best possible sporting education for the pupils, and work together as a team to ensure a collaborative approach.

Does this sound like the right opportunity for you?  This maternity cover post is the perfect role for someone starting, or early in their teaching career. It could equally appeal to an experienced teacher who shares the department’s passion for teaching Physical Education.
