Knowledge or experience of playing football would be an advantage. Join us and you will be part of a fantastic PE Department with a strong team ethos. Our school is dedicated to evidence-based practice with a focus on Rosenshine’s principles of instruction, and we have a strong emphasis on incorporating educational research in to lessons. We believe in working collaboratively, sharing ideas and supporting each other to achieve great things as we develop innovative teaching and learning strategies. We are proud of the number of sports teams that run across all year groups and our success in regional and national cups in many sports. The department has a strong academic pathway and there are multiple groups in both GCSE and A level PE. We have also recently introduced a vocational pathway due to the popularity of the subject at both level 2 and level 3. We have links with Trinity University and Cookridge Hall golf club who we collaborate with to run our ‘Golf Academy’ in the sixth form. The department’s success is reflected throughout this ambitious and consistently oversubscribed 11-19 school, which enjoys strong community and international links.
