HEAD OF PE AND SPORT

Full time, competitive salary

At Prior’s Field School, girls thrive, and sport is a powerful part of that story.


We are seeking a dynamic, visionary Head of PE and Support to lead and further develop our ambitious PE and sporting provision at our inspiring independent school. This is a rare opportunity to shape a thriving department where participation, performance and passion sit side by side.


Sport at Prior’s Field is taken seriously. We are proudly competitive, with clear pathways for girls who excel, including our established Netball Pathway and Tennis Pathway, while also ensuring teams and opportunities exist for all abilities. Every girl is encouraged to find her level, build confidence and enjoy competing in a way that feels right for her.


Our sporting calendar is busy and vibrant, with a heavy fixtures list and students who are highly involved in sport throughout the week. Beyond the curriculum, our extensive co-curricular programme means sport is visible and valued every day, with a wide range of after-school clubs running most evenings.


Most importantly, our girls love sport. They play with commitment, joy and pride, supported by a well-regarded and successful department with a reputation for consistently strong results and nurturing individual talent.


The Head of PE and Sport will have overall responsibility for the school’s sporting vision and delivery, leading a committed team and ensuring high standards across curriculum PE, fixtures and co-curricular sport. Previous experience teaching hockey is desirable, but we welcome applications from candidates with any sporting specialism who share our belief in inclusive, aspirational sport for girls.


As noted by The Good Schools Guide “They mean what they say about nurturing talent.”
