This role is rooted in a commitment to pupil development and excellence in teaching, offering a broad and balanced PE curriculum that engages, supports and challenges every pupil. You will plan and teach inclusive, high-quality practical and theoretical lessons that promote physical literacy, confidence, healthy lifestyles and academic success. Using adaptive teaching strategies and rigorous assessment practices, you will address diverse learning needs, close progress gaps and inspire pupils to develop a lifelong love for physical activity. Your work will foster physical, social and emotional growth, while also supporting pupils to excel in sports performance and theoretical understanding. Beyond the classroom, you will organise and manage extracurricular opportunities, including sports clubs, inter-school fixtures and enrichment events. This is a rewarding opportunity to empower our Boys at Heron Hall through sport—building teamwork, leadership and personal achievement.
