Teacher of PE (Maternity Cover)

Gad’s Hill School, a co-educational independent day school for pupils aged 3 – 16 and set in the former home of Charles Dickens, is looking to appoint a Teacher of Physical Education for the duration of a maternity cover, from 9th January 2023.

Our sports provision has expanded significantly in recent years, and the department offers sports as diverse as fencing, karate, skiing, climbing and handball, alongside the traditional team sports and athletics.

Pupils benefit from a programme of fixtures against other schools, entry into regional and national competitions, while our own sporting events – such as the Christmas cross country and summer Sports Days – are some of the most eagerly anticipated days in the School’s calendar.

In addition to a large playing field and tennis courts, the centrepiece of our new school building is its sports hall, complete with basketball, badminton and netball courts and a 10m climbing wall.

We have a number of Sport Scholarship recipients within the Upper School raising standards and expectations and GCSE PE is an increasingly popular option, but our sporting ethos is also one of inclusivity and enjoyment of healthy activity for all.
