Job Information

We are seeking an inspirational and motivational Teacher of Physical Education with the drive, commitment and creativity to support us in providing the best possible opportunities for our pupils. Due to the requirement for this role to supervise female changing rooms, we are only able to accept applications from female applicants.

Hall Green School is a very popular, heavily oversubscribed and academically successful 11-16 Converter Academy. We are a highly diverse institution, both ethnically and as a fully accessible mainstream school, attracting pupils from across the city with physical disabilities. We have wonderful pupils who fully contribute to the school’s ‘caring, nurturing and inclusive culture’ described by Ofsted (2019) as ‘a welcoming and inclusive school’ where ‘pupils are happy, and they achieve well’ and the ‘positive relationships between pupils and staff are a hallmark of the school’.

The school is part of the newly formed West Midlands Academy Trust (WMAT) which opened in January 2025.  As one of the three founding members, the school has been integral to forming the Trust’s mission:

  • relentless focus upon delivering an excellent Quality of Education, resulting in strong progress and attainment for all groups of pupils.
  • emphasis upon personal development and well-being for staff and pupils.

We are seeking a colleague who:

• is an excellent and innovative practitioner

• is ambitious for our pupils and determined that they should reach their full potential

• is passionate about their subject

• will inspire and motivate students

Most importantly, we are looking for a candidate who shares the school’s approach and commitment to the success and wellbeing of its young people. You are warmly invited to speak to the Headteacher and to make an appointment to visit the school in action. 

I strongly recommend you visit the school to meet us and find out more about the role. Please contact my PA, Mrs Paula Elliott, to arrange a convenient time. 

How to apply:

For further details and an application pack, please see the school website or email: recruitment@hallgreen.bham.sch.uk

Please note that all applicants must complete the school’s application form only.  Any other form of application or CVs alone will not be accepted.
