Description
Job Introduction

Netball training takes place in the Play & Lent Terms (September through to March inclusive) on both Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (2:00pm - 3:45pm).


Around 20 girls aged 16-18 receive instruction from the Netball Coach who is assisted by two members of teaching staff with previous coaching experience.

Fitness sessions are run by an external fitness trainer every two to three weeks.

Home matches are played on two all-weather netball courts at Vincent Square (Westminster School's playing fields) or in the nearby Sports Centre when it is too dark to play outside.

Away matches are within easy reach by public transport. In addition to external fixtures, there is a popular internal House competition.

About The School

Working at Westminster
Westminster School is a busy, purposeful and vibrant place to be and an excellent workplace. The community is made up of 750 pupils, 120 teaching staff and 108 support staff.

Westminster School is friendly and welcoming, and all newcomers quickly become part of the rhythm of life here.


There is a real sense of community here as, being a boarding school many members of staff and pupils live on site and the School's premises are very much treated as a home away from home.

School life starts before breakfast and continues way beyond the working day; as a result, there is always a lively atmosphere in and around School and always someone to share a tea and biscuit with in the Common Room.

Support staff as much as teaching staff are encouraged to embrace the School's day-to-day activities, whether that be attending an evening concert or a morning service in the Abbey.

Westminster School is for everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or any other protected characteristic. We hope you are encouraged to apply.
