An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a successful Physical Education department, in a forward thinking, high achieving school, which focuses on raising the achievement of all students.

We are looking to appoint a passionate and well-qualified teacher of PE to join this successful department in delivering PE.

The candidate must be:

• An inspirational teacher.

• Creative and imaginative.
• A team player and have a strong commitment to extra-curricular sport.

We are a stand-alone academy, which is proud to have retained its identity at the heart of the community, but we have also begun working more extensively with neighbouring schools. Our recent Ofsted inspection, in March 2026, recognised that ‘Leaders are supportive of staff and consider their workload and wellbeing. Staff feel well supported by leaders…Pupils behave well across the school. Leaders have created a positive learning environment…Pupils are safe and happy at Brighouse High School.’

Inspectors also reported that ‘Pupils, including sixth-form students, value the positive relationships that they have with staff.’

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Further information regarding our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy can be found on the school website. The successful applicant to this post will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check (Disclosure) before the appointment is confirmed.
