TEACHER OF GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Dear Colleague

Thank you for your interest in the post of Teacher of Girls Physical Education at Ranelagh School.

In this letter, we aim to provide you with some further insight into our school and our priorities.

Our school has an excellent reputation at local and national level. The last inspection by Ofsted in

2015 judged us to be outstanding in all areas. This was our fourth outstanding report and, whilst

we are very proud of this achievement, we are in no way complacent.

In addition to excellence in terms of academic outcomes, our purpose is to provide a supportive,

stimulating and secure environment in which young people can thrive. As such, we seek to

employ inspirational and energetic staff, committed to the school’s ethos. In return, we aim to

provide opportunities for continuing professional growth and development for all staff, beginning

with a well-established induction programme.

Given that we spend such a significant proportion of our time in the workplace, it is important to

take pride and pleasure in what we do here. Teaching and non-teaching staff collaborate well.

They are mindful of one another’s well-being and there is a strong sense of collective purpose.

If you are interested in learning more about the role, then please do contact me. If you would

We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Mr Timothy Griffith
