What skills and experience we're looking for

The Cowplain School is seeking to appoint a skilled and inspirational Teacher of Girls PE, who forms effective relationships with students, parents and colleagues and has the skills and drive to ensure our students receive the best possible learning opportunities in an established and ambitious PE department. A willingness to teach an additional subject would be an advantage.

We are extremely ambitious for our 950+ students and have a strong vision to ensure that the life-chances of every young person are enhanced by quality teaching, leading to excellent outcomes.
