The posting
As well PE and Games, the College offers GCSE PE and BTEC Sport at KS4 and A Level PE and BTEC3 Sport at KS5. This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate who wishes to develop their teaching expertise with a range of pupils and courses.
Applications are welcome from both experienced and newly qualified teachers able to teach throughout the age and ability range.
Wimbledon College is a popular and oversubscribed school which prides itself on its exam results at both GCSE and A level with results significantly above national averages. As a Jesuit school, our ethos can be summed up by St Ignatius Loyola’s vision for Jesuit schools as being “for improvement in living and learning for the greater glory of God and the common good.” Central to St Ignatius’ vision and to the College is the education of the whole person, providing each pupil with the opportunity to strive for excellence in all that they do.
Wimbledon College offers a broad range of opportunities in both PE and Games lessons. The PE Department aims to teach lively and engaging lessons and seeks to help pupils of all abilities develop their competence and enthusiasm for PE and a range of sporting activities. Underpinning all our work, is the school’s ethos of ‘cura persona’ (the care of the individual). At KS3 all pupils have one period of PE and all pupils in Lower line and Higher line (Y7-11) have a double Games lesson each week with a selection of options available.
The PE Department prides itself on its extensive extra curriculum programme covering a range of sports, with the main sport of Rugby in the Autumn term, Football in the Spring term and Cricket and Athletics in the summer term. We also have very strong Swimming and Basketball programmes and we regularly supply ball boys for the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament at the All England Club.
We offer a prestigious fixture list in these sports, competing against the top schools in South London. Recent Rugby tours have included Portugal, USA, Canada and South Africa and the football team toured Italy in 2019.
The department offers several opportunities for the students academically and we are a popular subject for examination courses. At Key Stage 4 we have GCSE PE following the AQA syllabus and BTEC Level 2 Sport with Pearson. In the 6th form we have both A Level PE (OCR) and BTEC L3 Sport (Pearson) which we have recently introduced. These courses are taught in partnership with the girls from Ursuline High School.
Applications are welcome from both experienced and newly qualified teachers able to teach throughout the age and ability range. Interviews will take place as soon as is practicable after the closing date.
Shortlisted candidates will be expected to prepare and deliver a 50 minute lesson followed by an interview.
There will also be an opportunity to tour the school. References will be requested prior to interview. Any queries regarding the recruitment and application process should be directed to the College Secretary ([email protected])
We will withdraw the advert if a suitable candidate is found in advance of the deadline so please apply as soon as possible.
