Trinity School · Sevenoaks, South East
About the PE Department At Trinity School, the Physical Education department
is a passionate, collaborative, and forward-thinking team committed to
developing physically literate, socially confident, and independent learners.
We aim to inspire students to understand and value the importance of leading an
active and healthy lifestyle, recognising the wide-ranging physical, mental,
and social benefits of lifelong participation in physical activity. The department has a strong culture of high
expectations and inclusive practice, with a focus on maximising student
engagement and achievement. We offer a broad and ambitious curriculum,
complemented by an extensive extracurricular programme, and regularly compete
in local, regional, and national competitions across sports such as rugby,
netball, and football. Participation in sport continues to grow across the
school, and we are committed to sustaining this through innovative, creative,
and inclusive sporting opportunities. Academically, the department has recently transitioned
to the NCFE Health and Fitness qualification at Key Stage 4. At Key Stage 5, we
deliver the highly popular BTEC National Extended Certificate and BTEC National
Diploma in Sport, supporting students in progressing to further education and
careers within the sports industry. Experience of delivering these
qualifications would be advantageous, though not essential.
About You
You will be committed to the development and progress of
students, able to facilitate and encourage a learning experience which provides
students with the opportunity to achieve their individual potential and you

relishes a challenge and is resilient. We
are interested in hearing from candidates who are either newly qualified, or
have 2
– 3 years’ experience of teaching PE with a proven track record of success. It is an advantage to be able to teach A Level
PE, but this isn’t essential.
The
post is predominantly PE, however, there may be a requirement for another
subject specialism, at least for the first year.
