We are looking to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and inspirational PE teacher who is also able to supplement teaching in our Mathematics and Science Department. This is a fantastic job opportunity for a teacher who really wants to make a difference to the lives of young people and show them the cross curricular nature and beauty in the mathematical world. Our single goal is ‘Students First’ and you will be joining a strong team of professionals working to this sole aim.

Physical Education is a strong department with a well-rounded team of staff, who offer expertise in a number of different curriculum areas. PE is a core subject throughout key stage 3 and 4 and is also offered at examination level at KS4 for those students wishing to expand upon their knowledge of a broad range of PE and sports topics.

Core PE encompasses a wide variety of sports including but not limited to, football, basketball, netball, rugby, tchoukball, badminton, OAA, athletics, rounders and softball to name a few. Examination PE currently consists of BTEC Tech Awards Sport (2022) Level 2 qualification in Sport and has a good uptake thanks to our BTEC pathway group in Y9 and a Sports Scholars Programme from year 8. Our aims are to empower lifelong participation in physical activity.

To develop physical literacy, knowledge, understanding and confidence to lead a healthy active lifestyle. To enable students to develop core values, character and life skills to equip them for employment in their personal lives. Students thrive in PE and often attend enrichment each afternoon, enter intra school competitions along with against schools from the wider community of Wakefield and beyond.

Our Mathematics Department consists of eight teachers and two one-to-one tutors. The Department is a combination of experienced staff and more recent entrants to the profession, and is given strategic direction by supportive and determined leaders. We have the benefit of support from the Trust's team of expert Maths Directors who provide support, materials, advice, coaching and who model and team-teach in lessons alongside us to develop our expertise. The Department has created a rich and engaging curriculum which has deep roots in teaching for understanding. Our curriculum is differentiated by depth, ensuring all students build firm foundations, develop confidence and retain their learning.

Our Science Department consists of seven teachers and a one to one tutor. There is a great deal of experience within the department and they are able to utilise and develop early career teachers well with the skills within the team. The Science department benefits from 8 bespoke classrooms, two of which are newly constructed classrooms.

We are proud of our links within the local community, opening our facilities to the wider community and engaging with them and the local primary schools to foster an active and healthier lifestyle.
