About the job

Key information

Full-time, from September 2026

The Directors of Blackdown Education Partnership are seeking to appoint a Teacher of Boys’ PE to join our school from September 2026. This vacancy would be particularly suitable for an ECT, but RQTs and more experienced teachers are also welcome to apply.

Uffculme is a flourishing, popular, high performing School located on the beautiful Devon/Somerset border with easy motorway access to the regional centres of Taunton and Exeter. We are fully comprehensive and committed to inclusion.

PE is a key part of our success story both in terms of the outstanding outcomes that students achieve, and the high levels of participation that are seen across all year groups. In recent years GCSE PE students have typically achieved two grades above the national expectations for their ability, with extremely high numbers regularly participating in extra-curricular sport and activities each week.

Whilst our examination results speak for themselves, they don’t tell the whole story. They are based on a culture of high expectations; exceptional levels of student participation and active involvement in the life of the school; and great relationships between staff and students. We make no apologies for wanting it all as a school: happy staff, happy students, outstanding results, amazing opportunities, and a culture which rewards and values success in all its forms.

The successful candidate will be, or have the potential to be, an outstanding teacher who inspires a keen interest in PE in students and who is able to deliver the exceptional results which we have come to expect from our students. A full contribution to our extensive extra-curricular programme will be expected. In return we can offer you support from an excellent team of colleagues where morale is high; fantastic facilities and young people who genuinely want to learn.

DBS check

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and all candidates are expected to share this commitment. This post is subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check.
