Head of PE

St Claudine’s Catholic School for Girls is a highly-successful Catholic girls’ comprehensive school (ages 11-18) in the northwest London Borough of Brent. We require a new Head of Department for PE to start in January or as soon as possible thereafter.

Learning at St Claudine’s is rooted in the Gospel values in a warm, supportive and nurturing community. Even though we are a Catholic School, it is not a requirement to be Catholic and our international community welcomes staff and students of all faiths and none. Behaviour at the school is outstanding and students are educated via a rich and diverse, holistic curriculum to become confident, articulate and independent young people.

PE is taught as a core subject to classes in Year 7 through to Year 11, and sports and fitness is offered as a 6th from enrichment activity. The school has two gyms, an outdoor MUGA and a recently refurbished and equipped fitness suite. There is scope to further develop and build sports across the school and to introduce PE at GCSE and, in time, at A level. This is a very exciting time to join this happy, successful and thriving school community.

We are seeking a dynamic, hardworking, flexible team player with excellent interpersonal and organisational skills to join our busy school. Applicants for the role must have energy, enthusiasm and pride in a meticulous approach to work.

Further details of this post are available on the school website.

As part of our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children you will be required to undertake a DBS check.

All staff are expected to be positive spokespeople for the school and to role model the professional behaviours and attitudes we expect to see in the students. All staff might be required to carry out any reasonable duty or request made by the Headmistress or Deputy Headteacher that is not covered in this job description.
