Being part of a team who are developing a new school is the greatest privilege in the world.
This is a career-defining opportunity to shape the culture of a new school and to deliver a highly ambitious curriculum aiming to impact the UK education system and beyond.
Reach Academy Hanworth Park opened in September 2024 with children in Reception and Year 7. It will now grow organically each year until it is full, with the first Year 7 cohort sitting their GCSEs in 2029 and their A Levels in 2031.
Our founding cohort of pupils love learning and their new school. They deserve to be taught consistently excellent lessons leading to extraordinary academic outcomes.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher of PE for Reach Academy Hanworth Park.
They must share the school’s vision and the belief that all young people should be able to enjoy a life of choice and opportunity and be committed to ensuring that every child can achieve their full potential.
At Reach, we believe passionately in the importance of sport, exercise and healthy living. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to establish PE within the school, and grow their career within our small founding team.
As our only PE teacher, the successful candidate will have a huge impact on our school and the profile of the subject.
