Job Overview
Edgbaston High School for Girls is looking for an experienced and motivated Teacher to join our PE Department and to inspire the next generation of sporting prowess. The successful candidate will be enthusiastic and willing to share their passion for sport in general. They will have a very positive attitude and will be a great role model to our students. They will participate in the high class delivery of PE curriculum lessons, co-curricular clubs and in home and away fixtures across our Senior and Prep Schools.
We would be especially pleased to hear from applicants who are experienced in teaching Netball and Swimming. A NRASTC qualification would be beneficial, although training can be provided.
The PE Department
Our mission is to deliver a broad, inclusive, and inspiring Physical Education curriculum that fosters a lifelong love of physical activity and sport, whether competing at national level or enjoying a friendly activity together. We aim to nurture healthy, active lifestyles by encouraging students throughout our Prep and Senior schools to engage in physical activity both in and beyond school.
Our excellent facilities include a swimming pool, equipped gym and fitness suite, dance studio, floodlit astroturf, athletics track, cricket square, outdoor courts and sports pavilion.
Our diverse and inclusive club provision offers every pupil the opportunity to explore and develop their passions. Whether it's enjoying a friendly game of badminton, taking part in Couch to 5K, learning a new skill, or receiving personalised 1:1 coaching to complement their pathway sessions beyond school, the focus is always on enjoyment and personal growth. Led by dedicated sports specialists and supported by inspirational school captains, our clubs create a stimulating environment where pupils feel motivated, supported, and empowered to thrive.
