Job overview
This is a temporary, one-term, full-time post, from January to March 2020.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and able teacher to join a strong and lively P.E. department in this very successful co-education 11-18 school.
The post and the department
The PE department currently consists of five full-time teachers, assisted by teaching assistants and specialist coaches. This post comprises teaching P.E. and leading activities and fixtures throughout the school, across all three sections (Sixth Form, 7-11, and International school).
Overall responsibility for P.E. across the whole school is held by Jonathan Richards, Director of Sport and Activities. He is assisted by the Head of PE for Years 7-11 day school and three other teachers.
The person
We are looking for a talented teacher who is genuinely committed to enabling every student to enjoy P.E. and supporting them to achieve their potential. A positive and flexible approach and passion for P.E. are qualities we value highly.
Necessary qualifications
All applicants will be expected to have a good degree in PE or a related subject and to be able to demonstrate their teaching ability at interview. The School does not insist that its staff possess a PGCE or equivalent formal teaching qualification, though many members of staff do have an appropriate qualification.
All of the PE teachers are expected to drive the School’s minibuses (members of staff receive additional training as required). A clean driving licence is therefore essential.
Further information
If you would like any further information at this stage, please feel free to email/telephone Alastair Barnett, Senior Vice Principal, on the main school number 01865 688600.

Applicants should complete the Teaching application form, and submit this, along with a full Curriculum Vitae and a covering letter to HR@doverbroecks.com and a signed copy sent to:

About d'Overbroeck's
THE SCHOOL
d’Overbroeck’s is a co-educational independent day and boarding school in Oxford for students aged 11 – 18. The school roll currently stands at around 750, and this is set to grow in the coming years.
Founded in 1977, initially as a Sixth Form, d’Overbroeck’s has maintained its founding values throughout its growth.
We believe in outstanding teaching and laughter. We celebrate the individual and foster a culture that promotes collaboration and originality. We pride ourselves on our unique blend of social informality and academic rigour.
d’Overbroeck’s consists of three sections:
Years 7-11 – 200 students; currently all day students although open to boarders from next year. Based at Leckford Place, OX2 6HX.
Sixth Form – 440 students; a mixture of day and boarding. Domestic and international. Based at a purpose-built site at 333 Banbury Road.
The International School – around 125 international students who are all boarders, across years 9-11.
All in all, this is a busy and happy educational environment in which staff and students enjoy positive relationships based on mutual respect and a shared sense of purpose. As our most recent ISI inspection report puts it:
‘A defining characteristic of d’Overbroeck’s is its close-knit, informal atmosphere within which students grow in confidence, self-esteem, respect for themselves and for others. Students are very supportive of each other and behaviour throughout is excellent, exemplified in considerate, warm relationships.
In its key findings, our most recent inspection report (2021) found that our students are highly motivated with extremely positive attitudes to learning. They were described as successful collaborative learners who are naturally inclusive. They were said to have a remarkably strong sense of self understanding and excellent awareness of how to improve and achieve their goals.
