This is a key and strategic position on the Extended Senior Leadership Team (ESLT).

The successful candidate will be both the Director of Sport and the Head of our popular and high-performing PE & Games department, with overall responsibility for sport across the school. As a visible and influential figure within the school community, the Director of Sport will be expected to inspire students, staff and parents alike.

This role comes at an exciting time for the school as we open our state-of-the-art fitness suite, following the earlier development of our 3G pitch. Academic PE is currently the highest performing subject at both GCSE and A Level, and our co-curricular sport programme remains ever popular, with impressive levels of participation across a wide range of sports and all year groups. Nearly 500 fixtures have taken place so far this academic year, with notable success in national competitions - our 1st XI squad reached the final 16 in the national cup, and several of our teams have secured Kent Cup victories across various sports and age groups.
