An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic, enthusiastic, and well‑qualified individual who will be responsible for coaching lacrosse and other sports throughout the school. We are looking for an enthusiastic coach with a specialty in lacrosse to join our Physical Education Department from September 2026. The ideal candidate will be passionate about helping young people reach their potential in sport and be able to deliver coaching of a high standard across multiple sports.
About The PE Department
This year we were proud to be ranked the 4th best school in the country and the 2nd best girls’ school for sport by Schools Sports Magazine. Our extensive co‑curricular sports programme offers students a broad and exciting range of sporting opportunities, reflecting our commitment to excellence and participation at every level.
At the National Schools’ Lacrosse Championships our teams performed exceptionally, finishing among the top 16 in the country, with our U13s crowned National Champions. We run a full and ambitious training programme alongside an extensive fixtures calendar. Regular Saturday matches are a key part of our performance pathway and enable our teams to compete at the highest level.
Our netball programme is equally strong. Both our U12 and U13 teams won the Surrey County Tournament, and we field multiple squads across every age group. At U14, U16 and Senior levels, our teams continue to achieve success at both regional and national competitions, and our 1st Team was recently crowned GDST Champions.
In the summer term, our main sports shift to cricket, tennis and athletics, with matches held after school and during games afternoons. These sports continue to grow in popularity and enjoy high levels of participation across the school.
