We are recruiting for a PE teacher to join our school to cover a period of maternity leave for the substantive post holder, from 1 September 2026  expected to be for a period of up to 9 months. 

We are a thriving middle school in South East Northumberland with a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating and a strong commitment to excellence.

Seaton Sluice Middle School benefits from a strong sense of community where every student is known and valued. Students embrace our core expectations: be ready, be respectful, be safe. These values are deeply embedded in everyday school life, helping to create a calm, purposeful learning environment where all students can thrive.

We welcome applications from newly qualified and  more experienced teachers that can demonstrate passion and impact in their teaching journey.  You should have an understanding of what makes an outstanding and successful learning environment for students of all abilities, be able to provide enthusiastic and enjoyable lessons, showing your passion for the subject.  

We believe that every student deserves the chance to succeed, and we are looking for a dedicated teacher to help us make that happen through the planned curriculum and extra curricular offer.

The successful candidate will be teaching PE to students of all abilities in key stage 2 and 3, you may also be asked to teach other subjects depending on timetabling, this is likely to be an English, SMSC and IT lesson each week. 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced criminal records check is required for this post.
