Teacher of Girls' Physical Education

The King's Academy are looking to recruit a Teacher of Girls' PE who will enthuse pupils to learn with a combination of great subject knowledge, energy and dedication. This is a Maternity Cover position to last up 1 full academic year, expected end date being 31 August 2025.

The PE department provides education to all students in Years 7 to 11 as part of our 'core PE' programme. Students can begin to study PE in more depth from Year 9, with GCSE and vocational routes being offered in Key Stage 4. At sixth form, A level physical education is offered, as well as the department contributing to the wider enrichment programme in the sixth form. The department has a strong extracurricular emphasis, with sporting teams running across the school in a range of sports (netball, hockey, football, rugby, cross country) with students also engaging in a range of other sporting opportunities as they arise.

We have high expectations for our students as they grow and develop and all our staff provide important role models to them in terms of positive attitude, work ethic and diligence.
