Deputy Head of Physical Education

Orleans Park is committed to continuing to make diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything we do - from how we educate our students to how we support our staff. Ensuring that we are always recruiting, retaining and promoting a diverse mix of colleagues who are representative of the diversity in our local communities gives us a great opportunity to have access to a broad range of ideas and allows us to provide an outstanding education to our young people and an outstanding place for people to work.

We are looking for a dynamic and talented Deputy Head of Physical Education to join a thriving and highly successful department. The successful candidate should have broad based subject knowledge in order to teach PE at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5, and be an ambitious person with high expectations for yourself and your students. We offer a very extensive extra-curricular sports program and manage a number of teams in numerous activities, competing at borough, regional and national level. The successful applicant would be expected to make a significant contribution to these. We welcome applications from newly qualified or experienced teachers.

The successful candidate will:

• Be able to develop, plan and deliver effective and high-quality learning experiences to all students
• Be a newly qualified or experienced teacher who is enthusiastic, influential and committed to working in pursuit of success for the academy and its learners
