Job overview
Teacher of Girls PE: 0.5 - 0.7
Thank you for expressing an interest in the post of girls PE teacher at Lavington School. This is a part time temporary post, from January 2017. This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious newly qualified PE teacher to gain their first post, or for an experienced teacher. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed teacher to join our dedicated and mutually supportive team of PE teachers, to teach ‘core’ PE to girls and some mixed groups, and GCSE and/or BTEC at KS4. The ability to teach Health and Social care would be an advantage but not essential.
Physical Education is a subject enjoyed by students of all abilities by offering a range of different activities within PE lessons. In addition, we run a number of clubs and enter teams for a variety of fixtures and competitions. We are proud of how well our students do in these extra-curricular events. This is a high achieving school that is imaginative and creative in its approach to teaching and learning and is keen to look for continued and sustained improvement.
We benefit from a wonderful rural setting, surrounded by beautiful and historic countryside. The majority of our students live in nearby villages, and thrive in our supportive, positive, nurturing environment, achieving academic excellence for all. We are fully committed to providing high quality education for children whatever their age. We are at an exciting phase in our development where we are forming the Sarsen multi academy trust with local rural primary schools and applying to extend our age range to 18 to provide an all through education system.
The closing date for applications is 4pm Wednesday 22 November and interviews will be held week commencing 27 November 2017.
Further information about the school can be found on the school website.

We aim for students to leave Lavington School as confident young people, ready to take on new challenges with a lifelong love of learning. Our students will have resilience and resourcefulness and the wisdom to treat others with respect and courtesy, and this forms the foundation of our ethos.
Our exam results have regularly been in the top 5% nationally and OFSTED judged the school to be 'Good with Outstanding Features' in July 2014. Important as academic achievement is, there is much more to life at Lavington School. We are well known for our successes in sports and outdoor pursuits as well as excelling in art, music and drama.
Many students are involved in charitable work and community projects both within school and the wider community. We are proud of our achievements at Lavington School, but there is always more we can do. By working together, we can shape a future for our young people in which they achieve more than they dreamed possible.
Lavington School is identified as being one of the most successful schools in the country and has been highly rated by Ofsted. At the heart of this success are the core values that I and the whole school community believe are important:
- Excellent teaching by experienced, specialist teachers
- Individual care through an excellent pastoral system
- High levels of achievement through a challenging academic curriculum chosen to give students the best life chances
- Innovation in all aspects of education
- Traditional values of behaviour, appearance and conduct
- Developing personal leadership through a wide programme of extra-curricular activities.
