A wonderful opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and committed Teacher of PE to join our vibrant secondary school in Colchester.

• Help students find their best role in sports, whether as performers, officials, organisers, or leaders
• Support active participation in sports for students of all abilities, including those in the sixth form through our Colchester United football programme and cheerleading
• Encourage and foster healthy, active lifestyles among students, ensuring they leave school with positive, life-long habits

• Deliver a high-quality physical education curriculum that inspires all students to succeed and excel in a variety of physically-demanding activities
• Provide opportunities for students to develop their physical and mental confidence, supporting their overall health and fitness
• Create opportunities for students to compete in sports and other activities, helping to build character and promote positive life-long habits
