Physical Education Teacher, Whole School

Rugby School Thailand (RST), a co-educational day and boarding international School set in 80 acres of glorious Thai countryside south of Bangkok, opened in September 2017 for 110 pupils aged 2 – 10 years.

By January 2023, the School had grown to over 1,000 students up to Year 13, including boarders, attracting students from all over Thailand and South East Asia.

The structure, School day and ethos of RST are based upon the British Independent School model, rather than the standard international school model. As such, the School has three sections: Pre-Prep (2-6 year olds), Prep (7 – 12 year olds) and Senior (13 – 18 year olds).

Rugby School Thailand is the first overseas sister School of Rugby School UK, one of the most prestigious and well-known Schools in the UK. Rugby School Thailand shares Rugby School UK’s DNA in every important respect. It is unique.

The health, safety and well-being of young people are of paramount importance to all the adults who work at Rugby School Thailand. Children have the right to protection, regardless of age, gender, race, culture, sexual orientation, or disability. They have a right to be safe in our School. Members of staff in the School have a legal and moral obligation to safeguard and promote the welfare of the students, taking all reasonable steps to protect them from harm whether from physical injury, abuse, neglect, emotional harm or from anything that interferes with their general development.

Students participate in scheduled PE lessons throughout the week where they can experience new activities, learn new skills and exercise for fitness and well being. Beyond the school day, enrichment opportunities are endless with both sports teams and recreational activities available every night of the week.

The PE department is led by the Director of Sport who oversees all elements of the PE and sports programme both curricular and enrichment. As a member of this department you will join a team of 10 PE staff, 12 Sport coaches, 5 sports assistants and a team of 7 swimming coaches.
