Job overview
United Learning Teacher Payscale £35,000pa - £51,000pa
Heath Lane Academy seeks to appoint a Teacher of PE with the drive, determination and skills to nurture and develop the potential of our increasingly aspirational pupils. We are a small secondary academy with a values-driven, family ethos. As the sole provider of 11-16 education for our immediate community of Earl Shilton and Barwell, we understand and embrace our responsibility to deliver the very best standard of education possible.
Our mission is to ‘develop good people’ through great education. We want our pupils to grow into well-rounded, knowledgeable young people, determined to make the most of themselves, and to bring out the best in others.
Our vision for all of our stakeholders is the ‘best in everyone’. We want everyone in our school community to aspire to be the very best version of themselves by adhering to our core values of respect, kindness and hard work.
Heath Lane Academy is part of United Learning, a large and highly successful multi-academy trust. United Learning brings a wealth of benefits that are already impacting upon our school, our staff, and most importantly, our pupils.
As a group, we can reward our staff better: with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits, and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’. We are working hard to become a more diverse organisation – which is key to our commitment to bringing out the best in everyone.
Furthermore, one of the many benefits of United Learning is the breadth and depth of resources and support available. With a shared curriculum, subject advisors, a national pool of peers, coaching, mentoring and individual CPD plans, your teaching career will develop and grow as much as you want it to.

We welcome applications from everyone committed to this ethos and would particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently under-represented in the Group as a whole. We always appoint on merit, and we are open to discussing flexible working options.
United Learning is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All positions are subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and shortlisted candidates will be subject to an online check.

Heath Lane Academy is:
- A strong school at the heart of our community where pupils are safe, happy and do well.
- A school where good manners and good behaviour are the norm; where we look after one another and respect each other.
- A school where teaching is exciting and learning is successful; where everyone works hard in the classroom to make progress.
- A school where our partnerships and community links prepare pupils for the modern world and their next steps in education, training and/or employment.
At Heath Lane Academy, we aim high and expect high standards of behaviour and academic effort from all of our pupils. We want pupils to feel happy about what they can achieve.
We believe our pupils should be good to one another, develop responsibility and be self-disciplined. Pupils know that success needs hard work, however we also ensure that pupils who are struggling to keep up receive the help and support they need to catch up from our teachers.
We are seeking to create an environment where we are all working to make children’s lives better and futures brighter. The goal is always that excellent behaviour and excellent learning should be second nature, it should simply be the way that we are. This is a mind-set that we want all our pupils to have, not just at school, but for the rest of their lives.
At Heath Lane, pupils are encouraged to be active participants in the whole community, the feel connected. They know how lucky they are, and they are encouraged to think about those who are less fortunate. We want our pupils to be compassionate, considerate and kind, always looking after those who haven’t been given the same opportunities.
Ofsted report
“An excellent range of subjects and activities reflects the academy’s commitment to meeting all students’ needs and aspirations. A wide range of out-of-school activities extends students’ experiences, and strongly supports their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The progress of disabled students, those who have special educational needs and those for whom English is an additional language is just as good as that of other students. Students feel safe and say they are looked after very well in the academy.”
