Teacher of PE and Games

King Edward's is a leading independent day school in Hampshire, with a long and distinguished history. The school boasts outstanding facilities, including a Wellbeing Centre, modern library, new Sixth Form Centre, a 300-seat theatre and outstanding sports facilities. It is a fantastic place to work with a warm, supportive and happy atmosphere and highly qualified and dedicated staff. We aim to be a beacon of inclusivity, where every pupil and staff member is empowered to achieve their full potential. King Edward's is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion in all areas of our community and encourages applications from all suitably qualified candidates.

We are seeking a well-qualified and dynamic Teacher of PE to join our thriving Sports Department on a full-time basis. You would be joining a large department delivering a regional leading sports programme that is regularly gaining recognition at regional and in some cases national level.

The department promotes a range of sporting activity through its Physical Education and Games curriculum encouraging students to work to achieve their potential. The ability to teach across the full sporting range is required and expertise across some, or all, of our main sports of netball, hockey, cricket or rugby is essential. Academic PE is a popular subject at both GCSE and A Level. The ability to teach the subject towards GCSE examination is essential whilst an ability to deliver, or work towards delivering A level would be an advantage.

Teaching takes place within our excellent on-site facilities, including a sports complex with a good-sized sports hall, a newly resurfaced all-weather pitch, netball courts, rugby pitches, a cricket field with 4 outdoor nets and a newly installed fitness suite. In addition, the school owns an off-site facility of a very high quality. This has over 30 acres of playing fields with a water based astro turf, 4 netball courts, 6 rugby fields and can host up to 8 cricket matches at any one time.

King Edward's runs an extensive Saturday fixture programme, and this is an important part of the overall sports programme. All newly appointed PE staff are expected to play a full part in this taking a Saturday team in each of the three terms. Our teams are very successful on a regional level and have also gained recognition in the latter stages of national competitions too.

The post would be equally suitable for someone seeking a first appointment or an experienced teacher. A willingness to contribute to the school's wide range of co-curricular activities is expected. Small teaching groups throughout the school are supported by the very latest technology and modern facilities including an extensive use of 1:1 digital learning.

King Edward's has its own generous salary scale as well as contributing a highly competitive 22.5% employer contribution to the APTIS Defined Contribution Pension Scheme and a reduction in school fees. The school boasts a range of quality professional development opportunities and offers flexibility to work off site when appropriate.
