Job overview
Teacher of Girl's PE
Temporary Post: September 2019—December 2019
MPS/UPS
We are seeking to appoint a skilled teacher of Girls PE, with the ability to teach Core PE throughout the school. An ability to teach examination courses at GCSE and A-Level may be of benefit by negotiation, but is not a prerequisite for securing the post due to existing staff expertise. Newly Qualified Teachers are welcome to apply. The successful candidate will be a well-qualified and dynamic teacher, committed to raising students’ skills and willing to take an active part in the Faculty’s thriving extra-curricular programme.
PE is taught to all students throughout Key Stage 3; students have a 1 hour 40 minute lesson and a 50 minute lesson each week. Edexcel GCSE PE is taught in Key Stage 4 and pupils also participate in two 50 minute core PE lessons. The subject is also popular in the Sixth Form and several students go on to study PE or health-related courses at higher education each year. Examination outcomes at both GCSE and A-level are strong.
The PE Faculty comprises 6 full time staff and several part-time staff. The Faculty teaching spaces comprise extensive grass playing fields, astro-turf pitch, outdoor tennis courts, sports hall, gymnasium, recently re-designed multi-gym and the faculty also has its own dedicated indoor classroom and IT suite.
We offer a comprehensive employee benefits package including support of the Teacher Pension Scheme, Cycle to Work Scheme, Discounted Onsite Gym Membership, Onsite Parking and Childcare Vouchers. Wollaston School is a fantastic place to work and study. Informal visits are welcomed if you would like to see us in action and to learn more about us prior to your application.
