Job overview
The Role
To teach Physical Education throughout the Senior School including GCSE and A Level, in an interesting and dynamic fashion; in order to ensure each student achieves the best possible outcome in the subject.

Sports at The Grange School are going into an exciting period with the build of a new £6m state of the art Sports Hall (completion date of November 2018).
The new Sports Hall will provide club standard badminton, netball and indoor hockey facilities, international size basketball and tennis courts, gym, dance studio, changing facilities, a new multi-use games area, offices, classroom, storage and an internal climbing wall. The new Sports hall complements the already significant external sports facilities across the school sites. The designs for the Sports Hall have been developed by the school over time and Governors and School Leaders are delighted that the Sports Hall will soon be delivered in accordance with our ambitious plans for our school estate. Whilst the Sports Hall build continues, the school is fortunate to have a remaining large Sports Hall which is planned for conversion in the future once the build has completed.
Our other impressive facilities include an athletics track, all weather pitch, a purpose built Pavilion, impressive Boat House, and extensive outdoor space at the Senior School. The Junior School has excellent sporting facilities containing a large gymnasium, significant playing fields, and 2 netball courts.
The high level of facilities that the school has offer a limitless capacity for the successful candidate to develop and grow in their role.
Our vision is to create a learning environment where every student has the knowledge and understanding of how a quality physical education has a positive influence on life choices they make in relation to life-long physical activity, health, confidence and well-being.

About The Grange School
The Grange School has been one of the great success stories of independent education over the past forty years. The school was founded in 1933 as a Kindergarten and Preparatory School. In 1977, the Governors took the major step of developing secondary education and since 1978 the school has grown steadily and developed an outstanding academic reputation. Today, The Grange has a total enrolment of 1223 students with 429 in the Junior School (4-11 years) and 794 in the Senior School. It is consistently one of the best performing schools in Cheshire and undoubtedly among the very best independent co-educational day schools in the country.
Our academic results speak for themselves; we are consistently one of the highest ranking co-educational independent schools in the country. In 2023, 22% of GCSE entries were awarded grade 9. At A Level (in 2023), 21% of entries were awarded an A* grade. Thanks to these excellent results, the majority of our leavers (approximately 75%) go on to join their first-choice university.
More importantly we are a very happy school. The relationship between staff and students is exceptional; although very busy and, at times, pressurised, it is a pleasure to work and study in such a friendly environment. Expectations of teachers and pupils are high, but this serves both to stimulate achievement and provide reward.
We understand our chief purpose to be to help produce young people who truly flourish and find fulfilment as adults. We try to do this by helping them to identify and develop their unique combination of strengths, talents and passions, and to challenge them to find a purpose for their lives which such attributes can serve.
