Teacher of Physical Education

We are

seeking to appoint an enthusiastic teacher of PE. Applicants will join a well led

and supportive team of specialists who work collaboratively – sharing expertise

and resources. We are proud of our sporting facilities, which include a full-sized

astro pitch, two specialist indoor spaces and extensive outdoor areas to cater

for field sports and athletics.

In PE, our

curriculum is designed to embed a love of sport and promote an active lifestyle

for all. Students engage in a wide range of sports developing confidence in

their skills as well as an enjoyment for physical activity. Students can pursue

a GCSE or BTEC qualification at KS4 and an A level or BTEC route at KS5. All

students participate in core PE at KS4 where they follow an engaging program.

Physical

Education within Altwood School provides a broad and balanced curriculum for

students to uphold the schools’ gospel values and develop their range and

quality of skills, decision making and physical attributes in a variety of

sports. Students are inspired to be

confident, independent and physically literate learners who are passionate

about lifelong participation in physical activity. We aim to spark curiosity

for the subject and a sense of responsibility, leadership and respect for

others around them.

Alongside

our strong curriculum we have an exciting enrichment programme which includes a

variety of lunchtime clubs and after-school opportunities including fixtures. We

are always looking for new opportunities and our enrichment offer this year has

included girl’s self-defense and the creation of a Basketball team who have

competed in their first fixture. This is alongside well established and well

attended clubs for football, badminton and table tennis.

The PE

department are great supporters of our weekly house competition, running inter

house competition. The hotly contested Bench Ball competition is just one

highlight.

We have

strong links with the football academy at Bisham. This unique relationship

provides our students with an opportunity to take advantage of additional coaching

opportunities.

We are

looking for someone who can add to our vibrant PE team, where every effort is

made to ensure the young people feel known and valued and where sport provides

an opportunity for everyone to succeed.

This is an

exciting time to join a well-motivated PE team, and a great opportunity to be

part of the next stage of development as we grow our department through

collaborative planning to enrich our curriculum and provide inspiring

experiences for our students.
