About this Role

We wish to appoint an inspirational, enthusiastic and ambitious Teacher of PE to teach across KS3, KS4 and KS5 from December 2026 or January 2027. This post is offered on a one year fixed term contract to cover the substantive post holder's maternity leave.

You will be joining a very strong team of teachers who enjoy working together to develop a love of learning in our students and are passionate about the physical education of young people. Prendergast School has excellent sporting facilities with a fully equipped Sports Hall and a large playing field.

Applications from ECTs are welcome as the school has a strong ECT training and support programme.

Prendergast School is a beacon of educational excellence. We've led girls' education in Lewisham for over 130 years, and our mixed 6th Form continues to grow in popularity. Following our 3 previous Outstanding OFSTED judgements, we are proud to have achieved Outstanding in all categories in our most recent OFSTED inspection in March 2025. This exceptional track record is a testament to our commitment to both our students and staff.

As part of the Leathersellers' Federation of Schools, you'll benefit from a powerful network of support and resources. We are not just outstanding in academics, we also hold the NACE Award, the Wellbeing Award, and the Gold Artsmark Award, reflecting our holistic commitment to staff and student development.

We invest in our people. That's why we are committed to providing meaningful and ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD), from a comprehensive and supportive induction to a rich and varied CPD program across the school and Federation. You will also take part in the school's appraisal policy, appraising staff as required and using the process to develop their professional effectiveness.

We also recognise the importance of work-life balance. We are genuinely committed to finding flexible working arrangements that suit you and the role. We encourage all candidates to discuss their needs with us during the recruitment process.

Please note CVs are not accepted.
