Teacher of Girls PE with TLR for the right candidate - Impington, United Kingdom - Morris Education Trust

Description

Join East Anglia's "State Secondary School of the Year" 2024

This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the UK's leading comprehensive schools, recently ranked third nationally in the Sunday Times' ParentPower publication for the second year running. Due to the continued expansion of our sports scholarships in our outstanding sixth form, we are looking to recruit a passionate and exceptional Teacher of PE, to join our dynamic and high performing Sport department.

This role would offer potential for the right candidate to take on a TLR for leadership of a key stage within PE, either within the sixth form or our main school provision. We would welcome applications from candidates who have an interest in netball, or who would have the ability to teach IB Sport Science.

Part time candidates are very welcome, and well supported, as we were one of the original eight schools in the UK to be a Flexible Working Ambassador School.

ECTs will be nurtured and developed with an exemplary support package. We would, however, particularly welcome applications from teachers with at least two or three years' experience who are looking for a new challenge and for the support and coaching needed to prepare for middle and senior leadership roles.

As standard we offer staff:

The Sport faculty at IVC is a central part of the College and uptake at both KS4 and KS5 is very high, with very strong outcomes. The successful candidate, depending on their interest or specialism, will have the opportunity to teach across three different courses at KS4, including GCSE PE, BTEC Sport and OCR Sport Science, and BTEC Sport and IB Sport Science at KS5 in addition to our exciting core PE curriculum. We also have a thriving scholarship programme in our sixth form for Football, Rugby, Netball, Handball and Rowing. As part of our sports scholarships, students benefit from expert coaching and bespoke training sessions, as well as the chance to compete at an elite level.

We are very lucky to have an on-site Sports Centre with excellent facilities, including a full-size indoor swimming pool, and a large expanse of outdoor sports pitches and green spaces, including plans for a 3G pitch.

You will be joining an innovative, collaborative and dynamic faculty where staff are highly committed to professional development and sporting excellence, engaging with the latest pedagogical research and to developing students' passions for sport and physical wellbeing. There will be numerous opportunities to continue developing your teaching practice, through connections a range of in-house and external CPD programmes. You will be well supported in the faculty by a number of highly experienced colleagues, and have the chance to lead extra-curricular activities based on your own sporting interests.

Impington Village College has achieved consistently excellent outcomes for the last seven years. With a truly comprehensive intake, student progress is regularly in the top 5% of all non-selective schools in the country. We are fiercely proud of our inclusive ethos, and in championing an environment in which every student is welcomed and valued, and accommodate nearly 100 students with EHCPs, including many with highly complex needs. Student attainment is exceptionally high, with over 30% of all grades at Grade 8/9 and nearly 50% at 7-9 (or equivalent) in 2022 and 2023.

We are also committed to the wider education of our students, with a timetabled enrichment programme for all ages as a core part of our curriculum, as well as over forty hours per week of clubs and activities. We run a fantastic range of overseas trips as far afield as Peru, India, Japan and Botswana.
