The Headmaster and CEO of Eltham College Family of Schools and the Head of Blackheath Prep seeks to appoint a talented and enthusiastic Teacher of PE and Games to join our vibrant and forward looking school on a fixed-term basis for the Autumn Term. This is an exciting opportunity for a committed practitioner to contribute to a broad and engaging Physical Education and Games programme, working closely with the Director of Sport and colleagues to promote a love of physical activity and healthy lifestyles among all pupils.

The successful candidate will be a skilled and energetic teacher, with the ability to deliver high-quality PE lessons and Games sessions across the Prep age range. They will demonstrate a clear commitment to inclusive participation and high standards, ensuring that all pupils are supported and challenged to develop confidence, skills and enjoyment in physical activity.

Blackheath Prep is an independent prep school for just over 370 students aged 3 to 11. Founded in 1996, it occupies a beautiful five-acre site close to Blackheath village. Its original Georgian and Victorian buildings have been extended and adapted to include large playgrounds and extensive playing fields, tennis courts, cricket nets and a Forest School area. In April 2023 we were delighted to announce our merger with Eltham College to form a family of schools.

In January 2024, the Prep was inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) and received outstanding feedback.

A highly competitive salary is available, together with additional training and development opportunities through our generous staff development programme.
