Teacher of PE (Female)

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high achieving,

ambitious and supportive department that is viewed positively by students and

other stakeholders within the school community. The PE curriculum is planned,

resourced and delivered by a close-knit team of teachers:

The department’s philosophy is simple, it is to encourage

participation and enjoyment of PE through a wide and varied programme of

activities. These support the acquisition

and development of knowledge, skills, personal wellbeing and an awareness of

personal health issues. The department

operates under the ethos of “Team Byrchall – Sport for Life” and hopes to

encourage students of all abilities to lead an active and healthy

lifestyle.

In years 7/8 all students have 2 hours Core PE and access a

wide range of activities including Outwitting Opponents, Athletic Activities,

Dance Activities and Health and Fitness. During years 9, 10 and 11 students

have 1 hour of Core PE, and are given the opportunity to deepen their knowledge

and skills in the areas that are of most interest, through an options

programme. All students select an indoor and outdoor game and a summer

activity.

At the end of Year 9 students select their options for year

10 and 11 study. Students can currently

choose to study for qualifications in PE through GCSE Physical Education (OCR)

& Cambridge National in Sports Science.

Uptake of these qualifications is strong.

All students are encouraged to participate in a rich, vibrant

and extensive programme of extracurricular activities and opportunities. Applicants should have a strong commitment to

offering extracurricular sport. Over

recent years we have had considerable individual and team successes at area and

county level.

Our new build, which opened in September 2024 offers our

department state of the art sports facilities including:

Full sized sports hall (catering for 4 badminton

courts) Activity Studio Extensive playfields Outdoor multi-purpose hard court area All-weather Astro pitch

Teachers within the department are well supported and a true

team ethic exists across the staff. All

staff have access to a laptop, iPad and

Apple TV to benefit teaching and learning; and ICT is well developed across the

department. There are a wealth of opportunities for professional development

and the department has one designated CPD lesson every 2 weeks when all members

meet, to further develop Teaching and Learning within the department.

We believe that PE at Team Byrchall offers students a truly

inspiring experience and opportunity.

However, we are not complacent and wish to extend, enrich and broaden

our current provision. We are always looking to improve and we wish to appoint

an ambitious, enthusiastic and well qualified teacher to join us. If you

believe that you have the drive, vision and skills to improve the
