Advert

The School are looking to appoint a Teacher of PE.

The PE department has a reputation for high standards in teaching and learning and we pride ourselves on our student-centered approach. All department members are committed to delivering high-quality lessons and providing students with a wide range of experiences in sport and fitness activities, so that they can make informed decisions and take part in a healthy active lifestyle once they leave school.

We are a dynamic team, made up of seven full-time and two part-time staff across the two campuses. We are proud to run a vast range of extra-curricular clubs for our students, taking place before school, at lunchtimes and after school. We regularly compete in fixtures and have a high level of success in sports such as Trampolining, Netball and Hockey.

Teamwork and effective communication are essential skills required for the role and particularly to ensure that operations run smoothly across both campuses. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic individual to join an experienced team and help the department to move forwards and build on the fantastic outcomes that have already been achieved.

All students take part in two hours of Core PE a week from Year 7-11. We cover the AQA specification for GCSE and A Level PE. We currently have 3 classes in each GCSE year group and a large cohort taking A Level. A Level teaching is split between three teachers, each specialising in Anatomy and Physiology, Sport Psychology or Sport and Society. The NEA is split between the three teachers. 

 

Application Closing Date: Monday 13 May 2024, 9am

 

Interview Date: Friday 17th May 2024

 

Early applications are advised as the School reserves the right to appoint at any stage during the application process.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post. As this role involves 'regulated activity' with children the successful applicant will be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure application. Employment will be conditional upon the School being satisfied with the result of the Enhanced DBS check and the outcome of all other checks. 

The School will also carry out a check of the Children's Barred List on the successful applicant. Applicants should be aware that it is unlawful for the School to employ anyone to work with children if they are barred from doing so, and it is a criminal offence for a person to apply to work with children if they are barred from doing so.

This role is also exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask shortlisted applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Information about the school

Weald of Kent is a selective Girls’ Grammar School for 11-18 year olds with a roll of approximately 2000 students including our co-educational Sixth Form. The school is one of the highest performing schools in the country. We aspire to excel at everything we do. Owing to our continued success were thrilled to have been given permission by the Secretary of State to expand and mirror what we deliver at our Tonbridge campus in a campus at Sevenoaks, which opened in September 2017. In addition to the exciting new facilities, we have also invested in our Tonbridge campus which now has a state of the art Sports Hall and university style Sixth Form Study Centre. A new science block and new English classrooms have been built this year. Both campuses are situated in beautiful rural settings with far reaching views across the Garden of England with excellent transport links.
