Job overview
The governors are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic physical Education specialist to teach in our innovative and highly successful PE Faculty. This full time post is in response to the internal promotion of one of the PE team to Faculty Coordinator.
Darland High School is an 11-16 English medium comprehensive school with 830 students on roll. This September, the school will grow to 860 students, making us the largest school in Wrexham. Oversubscribed in Key Stage 3, the school has grown markedly in recent years. Serving a cluster of villages in between Wrexham and Chester, the school enjoys easy road and rail access to North West England and North Wales.
The school has a reputation for academic and sporting excellence, achieving results at both key stages, which are consistently above both local and national averages. We have close relations with the local community as well as with neighbouring schools, with whom there is a spirit of active curriculum collaboration. The PE Faculty is renowned for excellent results at KS4, with over 50% of the year opting to take PE GCSE. Results at KS3 are similarly excellent, with nearly 70% of Year 9 achieving Level 6+.
The extensive range of extra-curricular sports offered by the faculty are a major strength of the school and school teams regularly feature in regional and national competitions. The energy and commitment of the young team of four PE teachers are a vibrant force in the school and in recent Sports Wales surveys, our students and especially our girls, have exceeded national norms in their levels of participation.
We are looking for a gifted and passionate PE teacher who can inspire our boys to excell in sport and who has the patience and determination to ignite a love of exercise and learning in all pupils, regardless of natural talent. The successful applicant will also need to teach a few lessons of an additional subject, but there is flexibility over what this could be.
Please see either this site or the School website at www.darland.wrexham.sch.uk to download further information and a Wrexham CBC application form. The deadline for applications is midday on Thursday 16th June 2016. Interviews to take place Monday 20th June 2016

About Darland High School
Darland High School is a hidden gem in the picturesque village of Rossett in North East Wales. We are a mixed, English-language high school serving pupils aged 11-16 in the surrounding villages of Rossett, Marford, Gresford, Holt and Llay. Set in extensive beautiful grounds the school has 850 pupils on roll.
Established in 1958, Darland High School became a comprehensive school in 1972. An extensive building programme over the years has seen the creation of the Griffin Centre, a modern two story building, housing ‘state of the art’ science laboratories and ICT suites. A new library, complete with a full ICT suite, a remodelled foyer and new cookery facilities have also been added recently.
In September 2019 we welcomed new Headteacher Joanne Lee, who has brought in many changes and the school is a 'buzz' of activity. We are at an exciting time, along with extensive refurbishment of the site our team are in the process of developing an engaging New Curriculum for a new generation of students.
Our team of over 130 staff, dedicated and hard-working, are driving towards our common goal - to offer an excellent education to the communities we serve.
We welcome tours of the school prior to application.
