STAHS is a vibrant school supported by a diverse and enthusiastic community of staff, pupils, parents, alumni and friends. It is important that our staff reflect the diversity of our community, and we therefore welcome and encourage applications from people of all genders and sexual orientation, those from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic backgrounds, and those with disabilities.

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our dynamic, forward-thinking and supportive Physical Education department.
