Job overview
Teacher of Girls’ PE
Newton Abbot College
0.4 FTE (Tuesday & Wednesday)
Until 31st August 2025
We are seeking a passionate, highly skilled and proactive teacher of Girls’ PE to join our successful, supportive and highly motivated PE dept. This is a really exciting opportunity for a recently qualified teacher, or a keen sports coach, to join an exceptional department that delivers physical education to a high standard across a breadth of different sporting disciplines, including netball, football, cricket, swimming, water polo, to name but a few. There is also the opportunity to get involved in our Sixth Form enrichment programme, as well as our extensive Duke of Edinburgh & Ten Tors programmes, and to contribute to the administrative function of the department, working alongside the PE leadership team.
Newton Abbot College runs a Netball Academy that offers aspiring netballers the opportunity to follow a development and competitive pathway in pursuit of excellence. We have a number of girls on player development pathways and work with all students to provide the extra training they need to be successful. Our under-14 and under-16 netball teams have reached the Regional and National round of the National School England Netball competition and are regular finalists in the ‘Sisters in Sport’ netball cup competition. A key part of this post would be to take a leading role in the continuing development of the Netball Academy and its provision to our students and the local primary community.
If you are student-focused, keen to contribute to our Netball Academy and extra-curricular provision, a skilled sportsperson and recognise the positive impact PE and superb PE provision can have on young people, then we would very much like to hear from you!

About Newton Abbot College
Newton Abbot College is a mixed 11 –19 Academy with over 1000 students on roll with a large and diverse Sixth Form. Our recent full section 5 Ofsted inspection in April 2019 described us as, "a harmonious school where pupils are thriving" and went on to note that, "pupils are respectful of each other and adults. Their behaviour is consistently of a high standard."
The College has undergone rapid change including significant improvement to examination results at Key Stages 4 and 5; levels of progress over the last few years have been outstanding and are predicted to improve further over the coming years. We are determined to build on our successes and, as a College with Academy status, aspire to be outstanding in all we do. We offer a real challenge and excellent professional opportunities to colleagues who are keen to contribute their drive, creativity and high expectations to our go-ahead College’s future.
Newton Abbot College was originally established in 1904 as the Newton Abbot town Grammar School, becoming Knowles Hill School in 1975 with the introduction of the comprehensive system. In 2008, the school became Newton Abbot College. Along with a new identity and uniform came a strong ethos of the highest expectations for student learning and progress. In 2011 we gained Academy status. Today, the College offers 11-19 year old students a challenging curriculum in a calm, purposeful, well-ordered community.
We are known for our high standards of teaching and our focus on student achievement. At the heart of everything we do is the individual who learns here. Our focus is on giving them a complete learning experience so that they leave us as happy, confident, knowledgeable young people. For that to happen, our teachers must stimulate and challenge them in the classroom and beyond. We treat all our students as individuals. We set targets and track progress so that no student can become invisible. We are recognised leaders in this practice. We endeavour to give our students the skills they need to become independent lifelong learners.
