Are you a PE Teacher committed to improving the lives of children and young people ?

We are looking for an experienced PE Teacher to join our fantastic team at Westbourne School, Sutton-in-Ashfield due to growth.

As the PE Teacher, you will take a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, ensuring delivery of the school curriculum in a way that maximises children’s achievement and ability to develop.

Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.
