Job overview

We are seeking to appoint an innovative and dynamic Teacher of PE at our preparatory school, with a focus on girls’ sport and mixed PE/games with younger pupils.

The successful candidate will have extremely high standards of conduct, excellent communication skills and a record of high-quality, inspirational teaching across the prep age range (5-11).

This position offers a great opportunity to a charismatic and ambitious professional to work collaboratively with the Head of Prep PE, to ensure an exciting, innovative and balanced provision of sport and PE is on offer throughout the prep school.

The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute fully to the pastoral and extra-curricular life of the School.

“We are a well-established school delivering an outstanding education in a caring and inclusive environment, for pupils aged two to 18 years.

We aim to nurture and inspire, igniting pupils’ interests throughout their entire school life, so they become well-rounded, confident, and enthusiastic young people, both now and in the future.

We have a unique offering here at Highclare, with three separate locations in Sutton Coldfield and Erdington, each suitably sized to maintain a family atmosphere. This allows staff to know their pupils thoroughly and successfully guide them through each stage of their school journey.

We believe in fulfilling potential in everyone. Not only do our excellent grades reflect the outstanding teaching delivered at Highclare, but we offer a rounded programme of activities as standard to bring out the talents of every child – from one-on-one music tuition to astronomy or ballet.

Underpinning all that we do is a nurturing and supportive pastoral commitment based on our unshakeable belief that a young person who is happy is much more likely to be an effective learner, and a contented and giving member of our school community – and our society.

Our website provides good insight into life at Highclare School, and I invite you to take a look around to get a taste of what we have to offer, then come and see first-hand what makes our school so special – I would be delighted to meet you.”
