What skills and experience we're looking for

Currently, the Physical Education Department consists of four full-time members of staff, two Sport Coaches and a dedicated member of support staff.

We cover a wide range of sporting activities including rugby, football, cross country, badminton, health-related exercise, basketball, gymnastics, tennis, athletics and cricket.

In the Middle School (Years 10 and 11), all pupils receive a Games afternoon and a single PE lesson as part of our core offer. A significant number of pupils elect to study Physical Education at GCSE Level. These pupils increase their allocation to eight periods.

An extensive programme of extra-curricular activities exists including before school, lunchtime and after school practices. Competitive fixtures take place after school and on Saturdays. We are proud to offer such a wide range of sport for pupils wishing to represent the School or participate recreationally.

CURRICULUM AND RESULTS

The Physical Education Department has produced exceptionally strong examination results at GCSE and Advanced Level during recent years with a number of our students going on to study Sport Sciences at some of the top sporting universities in the country, including Loughborough, Bath and Exeter.

In Summer 2023, 50% of candidates at A Level were awarded A* or A grades. These figures are considerably above the national average.

We are proud of our sporting values and results in both fixtures and examinations. The successful candidate must seek to build on this success. The School is strong in athletics regularly reaching the National Track & Field Cup Finals and finishing in 2nd place in the Intermediate Boys in 2023. Regionally, we have had great recent success in basketball regularly reaching the knockout stages of the Essex Cup and Borough Champions in both year 8 and year 10.
