Job overview

We are seeking to appoint a well qualified and enthusiastic Prep School based PE Teacher to teach from FS1 up to Y8. The post will suit a well-qualified graduate or an experienced teacher, committed to delivering an exceptional learning experience for every pupil.  The post holder must be able to deliver quality lessons across the key stages. The ideal candidate will also have experience coaching netball or rugby/cricket to a high level.

At Cranleigh, we make PE and sport fun for our students and encourage their active and enthusiastic participation, at the same time producing motivated sportsmen and women who are good role models. As a consequence, we have a growing reputation within the Abu Dhabi International Schools Sports Association (ADISSA) and the British Schools Middle East (BSME). 

We have an extensive after school CCA program, with a choice of many different sports, and regular inter-school matches for Y3-Y13, students are kept healthy and active. Many students play several sports, and we encourage this: our belief is breadth of experience is preferable to specialisation at school level. 

We are very lucky to have our own first-class facilities onsite to match a wide range of interests and abilities. A team of well qualified and motivated PE staff deliver our broad and diverse PE programme. Our major sports are football, netball, swimming and rugby, but we are also competitive at athletics, cricket, touch rugby, volleyball and basketball.
