About this Role

Beths Grammar School is a large multi-cultural school on the borders between London and Kent serving a wide range of vibrant and exciting communities. We specialise in boys' education in the main school and have a large, co-educational 6th form.

The Physical Education Department is a dynamic and highly valued part of our school community, playing a central role in promoting excellence, participation, and wellbeing. We are committed to providing a high-quality, inclusive PE curriculum that inspires all students to develop a lifelong appreciation for sport and physical activity.

Our curriculum across Key Stages 3 and 4 provides students with the opportunity to develop physical competence, tactical awareness, and leadership skills across a broad range of activities. At Key Stage 5, students can further their interest in sport through examination courses that explore the scientific, psychological, and social aspects of physical performance.

Sport plays an important role in the wider life of the school, and the department delivers a strong extra-curricular programme with numerous clubs, teams, and competitive fixtures throughout the year. Students regularly represent the school in local and regional competitions, developing pride, teamwork, and resilience through sport.

We are seeking a passionate and ambitious Head of Physical Education who will continue to develop the department’s strong sporting culture while driving forward high standards of teaching and learning.

We are proud of the positive sporting culture within the school, where participation, ambition, and personal growth are celebrated. The department plays a key role in fostering a community where students challenge themselves, support one another, and strive for excellence both on and off the field.

The successful candidate will lead a committed team of staff and play a key role in shaping the future direction of PE, ensuring that all students are inspired to challenge themselves, achieve their potential, and develop a lifelong love of sport and physical activity.

The successful applicant will:

  • Be an enthusiastic team player

  • Be proactive and have a positive attitude
  • Have a commitment to our school vision and values
