Teacher of PE (Netball specialist)

We have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic, energetic and inspiring PE teacher to join a strong PE Department and play a key role in delivering an extensive Netball programme to committed and talented netballers.

The successful candidate will teach Physical Education to highly motivated and talented pupils from EYFS to the Upper Sixth. This will include teaching and delivering a wide range of sports and activities and supporting our extra-curricular programme. You will need to be able to deliver Netball to a high standard, as you will coach one of our A teams.

If you have experience coaching and or playing Netball to a high standard, we would be delighted to hear from you. Applications would also be welcome from NQTs with Netball experience and those looking to begin a career in teaching. The ability to teach another of our key sports to a high standard would be advantageous.
