We are characterised by how we treat our people
We are incredibly proud of our ambitious, curriculum focused, research-driven school. Our vision is built around the principles of ambition, respect and belonging and we have a strong commitment to the development of our staff as outstanding professionals.
We wish to appoint an excellent teacher to join our successful P.E. department. The successful candidate will ideally have Science as their 2nd subject.
Our diverse Physical Education provision allows all students to enjoy and succeed in a range of physical activity whilst improving their health and well-being. We firmly believe Physical Education develops confidence and athletic competencies in our students so that the physical activities become a central part of their lives, both in and out of school. It allows our students to develop their practical performance, creative and leadership skills.
Studying Physical Education at a higher level can help students break into careers in coaching, teaching, personal training, and diet and nutrition advisory roles in the future. Across Key Stage 3, our students follow a curriculum which is innovative and challenging and our aim is to develop students abilities to the highest level. At Key Stage 4 we follow the NCFE VCERT Health and Fitness. Performance across the qualification has historically shown a track record of good results.
This is a great opportunity for the right candidate to contribute to our work and benefit from an excellent environment, where teachers are encouraged to progress their careers with us. We have great facilities ensuring that our students and staff have the best learning environment in which to achieve. SJT is a very positive community, with our recent staff survey showing that over 95% of our staff enjoy coming to work and are proud to be part of our school. We take staff workload and professional development seriously and we give all our teachers non-teaching time of at least 20% of their timetable.
