As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering an exceptional education for every student, we are seeking a dynamic, visionary, and highly motivated Curriculum Team Leader for Physical Education. This is a unique chance to lead a passionate and skilled team of PE professionals at Twynham School, while working collaboratively with colleagues across The Grange School to shape a cohesive and aspirational PE curriculum.

• Develop and embed a Trust-wide secondary PE curriculum that is progressive, inclusive, and creatively challenging.
• Work closely with senior leaders across both schools to contribute to whole-school improvement and champion physical education as a vital part of student development.

This is a rare opportunity to influence the future of physical education across two schools, empowering students to build practical skills, resilience, teamwork, and a lifelong love of movement and wellbeing. You will play a key role in shaping a curriculum that reflects our values of ambition, collaboration, and innovation.

Based at Twynham School, you will lead a talented team of PE teachers while working closely with the PE lead at The Grange School to ensure a coherent and aspirational curriculum across both settings. This collaborative approach offers the best of both worlds: the opportunity to shape practice within your own team while contributing to system-wide improvement through shared expertise and innovation.
