What skills and experience we're looking for
Ribblesdale School is seeking an exceptional and committed teacher of girls PE who will work within a supportive and ambitious department based at the secondary provision.
As a key member of the team, you will be expected to have experience in teaching across Key Stages 3 & 4. We pride ourselves on being a highly innovative and successful department who are dedicated to delivering a fully inclusive curriculum. You will play an active role in our extensive extra-curricular clubs and activities, including our outstanding enrichment curriculum. Ideally, you will be confident in the use of educational technology (Edtech) and be willing to support the school’s ethos of utilising 21st Century technologies to support learning and progress.
The sports facilities at Ribblesdale are ‘second-to-none’! You will benefit from first-class facilities, including a large sports hall, fully equipped fitness suite, grass pitches and running track along with a new ground-breaking 3G sports surface. The first of its kind in the UK and one of only 5 in the world, the 3G pitch has been designed and laid to FIFA standards and is a superb resource for budding sportspersons at Ribblesdale.
We seek a teacher who shares our innovative approach to teaching and learning and strives to achieve excellent results and maximise pupil progress. The opening of our first reception class in September 2023 heralded the start of a new era for the school as we become an all-through school, catering for pupils from the age of 4 to 16.
If you are ready to inspire and motivate Ribblesdale pupils to achieve their best in lessons and develop skills for life, we encourage you to apply and join our school community. This vacancy is suitable for an ECT as well as a more experienced teacher.
