Teacher of Girls PE

 “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.” - Michael Jordan We are delighted to invite applications for a warm, enthusiastic, and dedicated Teacher of Girls’ PE to join our friendly and supportive PE department. You will play a key role in inspiring our students to develop confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of sport, physical activity, and healthy lifestyles. Your lessons will be engaging, inclusive, and ambitious, ensuring students of all abilities feel valued, challenged, and able to achieve their best. Whether you are an Early Career Teacher or an experienced practitioner, we welcome individuals who are passionate about delivering high‑quality PE teaching that motivates students, enriches their secondary school experience, and contributes to a vibrant and successful PE department. The curriculum at Laurus Ryecroft is broad and balanced allowing students to develop the knowledge and skills to be physically active and healthy now and in later life. Our curriculum promotes a love of physical activity and the confidence to participate. The curriculum also promotes the academic side of the subject closely linking practical and academic concepts to ensure Powerful Knowledge is accessed by all.

Students are presented with intellectual and physical challenges, which they will work as a team to overcome while demonstrating the trust qualities. Students develop a knowledge and understanding of how to work with students of variety of different skill levels and strengths. They are guided to use leadership qualities when working as part of a team and respond to the strengths and weaknesses of those they are working with, with the intention of students taking these skills in to working life. Sportspersonship is visible in all lessons with students abiding by rules, being humble in victory and gracious in defeat.
