Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys is seeking to appoint a highly organised and motivated individual to this varied and interesting role. The first part of the job is Head of Girls’ Sport, which will focus on the development of sport for girls in Key Stage 5, mainly within Hockey, Netball and Rugby.

The second area of duty is as a technician to the Physical Education team at the Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, supporting the department through fulfilling a range of practical, technical and administrative duties.

As a selective school, graded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, we are fortunate that our student body are, on the whole, bright and enthusiastic.

Our teams feature strongly in county tournaments, frequently moving on to national competitions. In recent years Rugby, Hockey and Football have reached the top 16 and the top 8 in National Competitions. Many of our students have represented their sport at county level, a number at regional and several full internationals across a variety of sports. Girls join us in the 6^th form and the school runs a very successful Girls’ Sport programme that includes Netball, Rugby, Hockey, Cricket and Rounders.

The Physical Education Department enjoys some of the very best facilities in the area. There is a floodlight synthetic turf pitch used for both Rugby and Football, a 25m heated indoor swimming pool, an indoor climbing centre, a fitness suite, a strength and conditioning suite, a sports hall and a gymnasium. Surrounding the school are its playing fields with provision for rugby, cricket, football, outdoor volleyball and athletics on site. The school also utilises Polo farm sports centre for Hockey, where Canterbury HC play in the Premier League.
