What skills and experience we're looking for
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Physical Education Department from September 2025 in a team-orientated school graded as ‘Good’ in all categories. (Ofsted March 2024)
We are seeking a highly motivated, dynamic, creative and ambitious individual to join a strong and vibrant PE department. We want to hear from you if you are a Teacher of PE, or an ECT aspiring to be such a teacher.
PE is a high-profile department, both within the school and the wider community. Ideally you will be able to teach core PE, GCSE and possibly have experience in BTEC and A’ Level PE courses, along with the ability to teach Psychology at KS5.
You will join and be supported by a successful department with good outcomes, both in examination results and at competition level.
The successful candidate will be someone with a passion for their subject, who has excellent subject knowledge and who will inspire and engage our students across all Key Stages. The successful applicant will need to demonstrate they are an Outstanding Teacher (for ECT’s aspiring to be) with the ability to make a broader contribution to the life of our school and our extra-curricular clubs.
What the school offers its staff
At The Bicester School we pride ourselves on having successfully created an ethos that is nurturing, but challenging, and fully inclusive to all staff and students. We are fortunate to be located in a rural part of North Oxfordshire with excellent transport links.
Commitment to safeguarding
Due to this post having access to children and/or vulnerable adults, candidates will be required to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Service check.

We undertake social media checks on all shortlisted candidates in accordance with DFE statutory guidance ‘KCSIE 2024’.
