Head of Department, Physical Education (PE) – Permanent
About This Role
For September 2026 we are looking to appoint a Head of Department who can lead the delivery of core PE at Key Stage 3, 4 and 5 as well as GCSE PE and A Level PE. It is essential that the successful candidate is passionate about PE and has excellent subject and curriculum knowledge. We are looking for an enthusiastic leader who can ensure that all students understand the relevance and importance of PE in today’s world as well as in their own lives and who can lead this successful department into the future. PE is taught in mixed ability classes, so the successful candidate will need to be experienced in adaptive teaching, but also not be afraid to take risks and embed a culture of dynamic and creative lessons across the department. You will need to be able to work collaboratively as part of a team and be willing to embed new ideas and approaches to teaching and learning, as well as making wider contributions to the school community.
