“A mindbogglingly good, state comprehensive. Proving that consistent, well-managed, well-resourced, well-delivered and kind education for all can, and does, make a difference to a community.” (The Good Schools Guide, 2025)

The King's School is an 11-18 comprehensive school, which takes great pride in the promotion of excellence in teaching and learning, pastoral care and extra-curricular activities. Our core purpose of 'Achievement for All' encourages every student to develop their skills, interests and talents, not just through academic achievement but also through a rich variety of enrichment opportunities including house competitions, extra-curricular clubs, trips and visits.

For September 2026 we are looking to appoint an enthusiastic teacher of Physical Education. The ability to teach PE to GCSE and A Level is desirable, but not essential. The successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to drive extra-curricular opportunities in Physical Education and school sport; please clearly state your areas of PE specialism in your application form. Very importantly, we wish to appoint someone who works well in a team, has the ability to motivate students, is flexible, adaptable and can work under pressure without losing their all-important sense of humour.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone to join a very experienced and supportive department with a commitment to deliver Physical Education.  We offer a very strong support programme for teachers who are starting their career and working towards ECT status or returning to teaching after a break.

Please contact Mrs. Pocock at recruitment@thekings.devon.sch.uk for further details or see our website and apply online. The closing date is 09:00 on Monday 20^th April 2026. It is anticipated that interviews will take place the week commencing Tuesday 5^th May 2026.

When applying for the role, it is important that you refer to the school's Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy and the DBS Disclosure Policy, which can be found on our website (About Us – Policy Documents). We are committed to safeguarding the welfare of students, so all staff are enhanced DBS checked.
