Job overview
We are looking to recruit a Teacher of PE to start in August 2024.
Since the introduction of a new Principal and leadership team in 2017, Redmoor has experienced sustained and continuous improvement to ensure our students make better progress than similar students nationally. This was recognized in our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2021 where we were judged securely “good” in all areas, demonstrated by 6 years of positive Progress 8 and fantastic GCSE outcomes for students, evidenced in the social development of our students as they become valuable members of the community and affirmed by the significant over subscription for places in Year 7 we experience every year.
Our PE team consists of four experienced teachers and a PE technician/coach who are committed to ensuring consistently high standards of teaching and learning across the department, and to their own continuous professional development. We aim to ensure that Redmoor students will be inspired to lead a lifelong healthy active lifestyle and have the opportunity to engage in competitive sport. Students learn in a challenging and enjoyable environment that focuses on physical and holistic development. Our curriculum is balanced through knowledge and physical ability and develops skills to build the whole character embedding values such as teamwork, leadership, resilience and respect. Our Key Stage 3 curriculum consists of a variety of practical topics including theory units to support the transition to GCSE PE. At Key Stage 4, our students are offered additional courses in Sports Leadership and achieve excellent outcomes in GCSE PE. Our PE team provides an inclusive extracurricular programme all year round and the successful candidate will be willing to contribute to this. We are seeking to appoint a dynamic practitioner who will contribute to the further development of PE at Redmoor and help drive forward our agenda of continuous improvement across both Key Stages.
At Redmoor we invest in the continued professional development of all of our colleagues. Our CPD programme focuses on whole school priorities and the continuous development of pedagogy based on research, best practice and our excellent links with other schools. In addition, we offer individualised CPD pathways which support staff at all stages of their career progression including coaching, in-house training and National Professional Qualifications for middle and senior leaders.
Our staffing profile is very stable and our staff are excited and proud to work here. We are not complacent and continually strive to improve and achieve further successes. The future is exciting and we are totally committed to raising aspirations and achieving fantastic outcomes for all students. You could be a part of our future.
Staff well-being is very important to us and we are genuinely a happy place to work. All Redmoor staff have access to a range of benefits, recently enhanced to include a healthcare package (upon successfully completing a 6 month probationary period) that provides refunds on everyday medical expenses (opticians and dental care included) and also access to experts and scans as required. Our other benefits include complimentary hot drinks, access to well-being and counseling services and professional development courses linked to your role.
We have a clear understanding of what we are looking for in the staff we appoint. If you have a desire to work hard transforming lives, are a team player and want to be part of a dynamic team, you could be a Redmoor person. If you would like an informal chat or a tour of our school please please get in touch with us.

About Redmoor Academy
Since the introduction of a new Principal and leadership team in 2017, Redmoor has experienced sustained and continuous improvement to ensure our students make better progress than similar students nationally. This was recognized in our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2021 where we were judged securely “good” in all areas, demonstrated by 6 years of positive Progress 8 and fantastic GCSE outcomes for students, evidenced in the social development of our students as they become valuable members of the community and affirmed by the significant over subscription for places in Year 7 we experience every year.
We continue to invest significantly in our building and facilities, including new classrooms, ICT provision, science laboratories and refurbished sports courts. The school is consistently and substantially oversubscribed with over 900 students on roll. Excitingly and as a result of our continued success, we are about to expand further, increasing the number of students that can be admitted into Year 7 with an investment of £10 million to develop our sports, science, art and catering facilities to provide a first-class learning environment.
We set high aspirations within a culture of academic excellence, evidenced by the excellent progress students of all abilities make and the number of Grade 9s and Distinction *s in our GCSE results. We teach the majority of subjects in mixed attainment groups and are passionate in our desire for every student to be successful. Our ethos is underpinned by a strong and supportive pastoral culture which promotes pupil well-being, as we believe in the education of the whole child in order to equip them to be good citizens in society.
