We are looking to appoint a brilliant leader to join our team as a Head of Physical Education (PE). It is a great opportunity for anyone who is ready to lead a department and who really understands teaching, learning and curriculum in PE. We are able to offer the right candidate anything from
0.8 to full time.
At St James, we are a community with an ambitious curriculum, focused and thoughtful classrooms and great learning. We empower our students to use their education to be kind and community minded and to lead happy and healthy lives.
Our values are:
- Community
- Diversity
- Equity for all
- Kindness
We have clear lesson expectations, supported by centralised systems so that teachers can teach and students learn. This alongside a clear framework for teaching allows us to champion
equity for all and ensure our most vulnerable students can be successful.
We also ensure that our students are outward facing and enjoy a full range of experiences and opportunities whilst they are at St James. They understand and celebrate difference and
diversity and proactively contribute to our community. They raise money for charities, learn a language until at least the end of year 9, and they volunteer locally because they know that to feel part of your community, you've got to first be part of your
community.
And we are clear about one thing that all our children and staff must be - and that is
kind. We want to help our children grow into kind teenagers and then kind adults, so we teach them to do the right thing, because it is the right thing, because that benefits them and their community - and because it feels good to just be a good human being.
So, if you like to work hard and be kind, and you like students who do the same, St James School is the place for you and we would welcome your application.
