Teacher of Physical Education (Girls)

About us and the role We are seeking a committed and enthusiastic Physical

Education teacher to join our growing school, which was graded Outstanding in

all areas by Ofsted in May 2025. This role will predominantly focus on the girls’

curriculum and is suitable for both experienced teachers and Early Career

Teachers. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a

well-established and ambitious department. You will deliver a high-quality and

inclusive PE curriculum, set clear expectations for behaviour and achievement,

and create a positive environment in which students of all abilities can make

strong progress. The successful candidate will also play an active role in

our extensive co-curricular programme, including our established Saturday

morning provision, and will be expected to contribute fully to the wider life

of the school. We are looking for a teacher who builds strong

relationships, models professionalism, and demonstrates a genuine commitment to

supporting young people to develop confidence, resilience, and healthy

lifestyles through sport and physical activity. If you are dedicated to high standards and keen to develop

your practice within a supportive and forward-looking school, we would welcome

your application. School visits are welcomed and encouraged.

Please contact the school to arrange a suitable time. Interviews will take place on 21st

May 2026. Avanti Grange is Bishop’s Stortford’s newest

secondary school, already recognised as Outstanding in all areas by

Ofsted (2025). Our state-of-the-art campus serves families across Bishop’s

Stortford and neighbouring villages, and is home to a vibrant, ambitious and

supportive community. The school is heavily oversubscribed, reflecting its

strong reputation locally and the demand to be part of our journey. We are a co-educational community school, part

of the Avanti Schools Trust, with a clear vision to inspire spiritually

compassionate changemakers. Our staff are motivated by a shared purpose: to

deliver exceptional teaching, foster character formation, and nurture

wellbeing. As one colleague put it: “Working at Avanti Grange feels like

being part of a family with a shared, values-driven mission.” We are equally committed to the growth of our

staff as to the success of our students. In 2024, we were awarded the Teacher

Development Trust Gold Award for the quality and culture of our professional

development – recognition held by only a small number of schools nationally.

Through education-leading CPD and coaching, colleagues at Avanti Grange thrive

in an environment where “better never stops.” Students benefit from a rigorous,

knowledge-rich curriculum, underpinned by yoga, mindfulness, and an exceptional

co-curricular programme. Our pastoral system is a defining strength: impeccable

behaviour supports high-quality learning, while wellbeing is woven into daily

life through practices that allow both staff and students to flourish.
