Following the promotion of the current post holder we are seeking to appoint a dynamic and skilled PE professional, with a proven track record of student outcomes, in a secondary context. Applicants must be an outstanding classroom practitioner and have the interpersonal skills to help drive a department with an ethos of continual improvement. The successful candidate will also have responsibility for whole school sporting and health related extra-curricular activities.
The physical education department develops students by helping them to become physically confident and participate in a range of competitive and physically demanding activities. It enables all students, regardless of background, to explore their physical characteristics as well as learn about themselves and others, as they face and overcome challenges. Students study invasion games, net games, striking and fielding, health, fitness and aesthetics throughout their time at Ratton. We also give the opportunity for students to select a GCSE pathway to study in Y10 & 11.
Accommodation, Resourcing and Facilities
The pe department is housed next to our gym, one of our 3 indoor teaching spaces. We have outdoor courts which are used for ball games in the winter months and tennis during the summer. Our large, private, school field provides us with plenty of outdoor opportunities throughout the school year. We are looking to develop our current facilities to provide the best experiences to our young people, in school and in the wider community.
Curriculum
In core PE, students study 9 blocks of different seasonal activities during 3 weeks of a 2-week timetable. Students will not only be able to develop their motor competence but will be active as individuals and work as part of a team for sustained periods of time. They will be able to develop an understanding of rules, strategies and tactics when performing safely in a range of competitive activities. Students are asked to review their performance and compare these to previous efforts in order to bring about improvement.
At Key Stage 4 students have the opportunity to study GCSE PE. This is one of the school’s most popular option choices.
We offer an incentive package which includes:
• A comprehensive induction programme for new staff to the academy.
• On-going investment into your career development through appropriate CPD.
• Support and mentoring by a strong Senior Leadership Team and other experienced leaders.
• Access to the Bike 2 Work scheme allowing up to 42% discount on the cost of bikes and equipment.
• Full use of an employee assistance programme supporting wellbeing.
• Free breakfast of bagel/cereal/porridge/tea/orange juice.
• Staffroom with complimentary tea and coffee.
• Subsidised membership of Benenden Healthcare (affordable alternative to private health insurance).
• On-site parking.
• Free Breakfast Club/After School Club place for staff children at Ocklynge Junior School.
• Enviable setting and extensive grounds.
We look forward to receiving your application and hearing why you believe you have the passion, commitment and talent to join the South Downs Learning Trust.
