Head of Sport and PE (part-time)
Required for September 2024
Details of the Post and Application Process
**The School**
The School has considerable success in supporting children through to a place at their first-choice school. For many this is a selective or super-selective grammar school, whilst others also go on independent schools or other types of state schools. Another route is to a major 13-18 boarding school, via a feeder prep school for Years 7 and 8.
Bronte is a small school, of around 150 pupils, in a single class entry, with maximum class size of 20. The teachers are dedicated, professional and supportive, caring deeply for the children and getting to know them very well. This personal attention forms a central part of the School’s family atmosphere. Pastoral care is very strong, and is seen as fundamental to the children’s success, happiness and sense of self-fulfilment.
The School has a Christian tradition, at the same time as having extensive diversity in the ethnic and cultural composition of its familes, reflecting that of the local area.
Bronte Nursery, the School’s sister setting, is a large, high quality nursery, ages 3 months to 4 years. It is located about 200m away, also on Pelham Road.
Bronte is privately owned, by Nicholas Clements. As Proprietor, he is responsible for the governance of the School and Nursery. The Headmistress is Emma Wood.
The Bronte School and Nursery Advisory Board supports the governance of the School and of the Nursery.
**Sport at Bronte**
Recognising the central role played by sport and PE in individual and team education and confidence-building, and in the life of the whole school, considerable emphasis has been placed on opportunities in the curriculum. In the Upper School (School Years 3 - 6), In Years 5 and 6 there are 3 periods per week (ppw) of Sport/PE (one double, 1 single). In Years 3 and 4 there are 2 ppw (one double). In the Lower School (KG - Year 2), there are 2 single periods per week. At Bronte Nursery, there are 1 - 2 specialist-taught PE sessions.
There are after-school clubs in a range of sports. Sports Day, in the Summer term, is a notable Bronte occasion, with its athletic elements and administration coming under the responsibility of the Director of Sport.
In Spring 2024, the School opened a new 12m x 18m artificial surface sport/play area, in the School grounds, on the site of part of the former car park.
The School rents weekly sessions at the ground of Gravesend Cricket Club (The ‘Bat and Ball’ cricket ground), for use as a grass surface for both summer and winter sports. For classes and teams, this is a 10 minute walk minute walk away. The School also rents daily space at the adjacent tennis court area (large, hard surface, also used for general play), owned by Mayfield Grammar School. School Hall can be used for indoor training/fitness sessions.
**The Appointment**
Over the past five years, sport at Bronte has developed strongly. Opportunities in team sports and competitions have widened, and, in PE, boys and girls show increasing awareness of movement and fitness, and there is greater confidence being exhibited, both by those of more natural sporting ablity and by those who find physical skills more challenging. The current Head of Sport and PE is moving to a new role in September, after 7 successful years. His successor is now sought, who can further nurture, develop and direct the School’s sporting and PE opportunities.
The assessment of how such development will take shape forms a primary element of a new incumbent’s responsibilities. With sport and PE being integral parts of the School’s curriculum, this development needs to complement and share in the school’s overall curriculum ethos. One area which has excellent and important potential is the further building-up of traditional fixtures with other independent and state schools.
Widely-established school sports such as athletics, cricket, cross-country, football, hockey, netball, and tennis are all sports which the School is keen to continue to build up and enhance.
As well as effective PE teaching, we are seeking excellent ability and leadership in sporting management and administration. Above all, we seek someone of energy, commitment and expansiveness, who will promote the enjoyment of, and attainment in, sport and PE throughout the school.
There is also an important role to play at Bronte Nursery, in the delivery of PE for very young children, in one, possibly in future two, session(s) per week.
A full UK driving licence and a willingness to drive a minibus to events form an important requirement of the role (see terms and conditions).
**The Role**
**Overview**
The Head of Sport and PE is responsible for upholding and developing the vitality and quality of the PE and sporting life of the School. The role involves three main areas: teaching of curriculum PE, organisation of opportunities for team sports and coaching, and arrangements
