Salary: St George's operates its own generous salary scheme.
Employment Term: Full TimeTemporary
St George’s is a thriving independent boarding and day school of 234 girls aged 11-18, around 45% of whom are boarders (full, weekly and flexi) and with a Sixth Form of approximately 80 pupils. St George’s offers an ambitious, connected and future‑facing education tailored for pupils to realise their potential both at school and in fulfilling adult lives ahead.
Awarded ‘excellent across the board’ in its November 2022 ISI inspection, the school is a place where girls flourish academically, creatively, physically and morally, where risks can be taken, lessons are learnt and challenges are welcome.
We are a welcoming school with a warm sense of community. Visitors are impressed by our facilities within a beautiful setting, and by the ambition of our educational provision.
Our unique extended‑day and flexible boarding model gives all girls the time and space to foster confidence, independence and academic curiosity, providing a future‑facing education exclusively for girls in a world not yet designed for them and introducing them to contemporary subjects and topics through speakers, workshops, classes and visits.
St George’s offers an education that is grounded, relevant and fosters employability. The school operates as an Educational Trust administered by a Board of Governors, is a member of the Girls’ Schools Association (GSA), Boarding Schools Association (BSA) ISBA, AGBIS and is ISC accredited.
We require a full‑time Teacher of PE to provide maternity cover with effect from April 2026.
The school’s aim is to encourage pupils to achieve their goals and potential, to welcome challenges, to be inspirational and adventurous with their physical movement and to continue their sporting activities beyond St George’s.
We are looking for an enthusiastic Teacher of PE, preferably with Netball and/or Swimming Specialism, to deliver inspirational teaching and coaching of PE throughout the curriculum and to run a prominent, enjoyable and successful co‑curricular sport programme for pupils at the school.
This will be a Fixed Term Contract to cover maternity leave and it is expected that the contract will be for at least two terms.
The successful candidate will be expected to be flexible in their approach to the role. The post involves supporting after‑school fixtures and working on Saturdays, with a weekday off in lieu.
