Teacher of Girls’ PE

(Temporary post to cover Maternity Leave –required for 30 October 2017)

We wish to appoint a well qualified teacher of PE to join our strong Faculty. 

The Physical Education Department at Fred Longworth High School

Physical Education is delivered throughout the whole school. In Years 7 and 8 pupils participate in 4x 1 hour lessons per fortnight. Curriculum Activities include:

Athletics, Aerobics, Badminton, Basketball, Cricket, Cross-Country, Dance, Fitness, Gymnastics, Hockey, Netball, Rounders, Rugby, Short Tennis/Tennis, Table Tennis, Trampolining and Volleyball.

At KS3 pupils are taught in single sex classes and we split into ability grouped classes.

At KS4 (Year 9-11) GCSE PE is offered. We currently have one or two full groups in each year consisting of approx. 20 pupils in each group. The Examination Board we follow is OCR for all year groups, which requires a 60-40% ratio of theory to practical. The timing of the course is 5x 1 hour lessons per fortnight of which 3 hours are theory. 

At KS4 OCR Cambridge National Sports Studies is also offered. We currently have 1 - 3 full groups in each year consisting of approx. 25 pupils in each group. The timing of the course is 5x 1 hour lessons per fortnight of which 3 hours are theory.

In addition to delivering the curriculum the department offers a wide and varied extra-curricular programme. We are heavily involved in both local and national events and actively encourage all our pupils to be involved in sport both competitively and recreationally.

There are currently 8 full time members of the PE department and 2 support staff members. 

The school has a strong tradition of success within sporting areas and this is due to the whole department’s dedication to deliver the best possible education for our pupils.

The school has been recognised annually by the National Sports Mark Award for the quality of its provision and was awarded a Gold by the Sainsbury School Games Awards. 

In 2010 Ofsted judged us to be outstanding and commented the following; “Students appreciate the work that teachers and other adults do for them and show this through their high attendance and excellent behaviour. Their determination to learn is palpable” – Ofsted May 2010
