You will be an outstanding graduate teacher with excellent subject knowledge, capable of delivering PE to GCSE level, and with experience delivering the Level 3 BTEC National in Sport.



In addition to excellent teaching skills, you should be passionate about coaching in one or more of our core sports (football, netball, hockey, cricket) and committed to supporting teams and individuals to succeed at all levels.

  • Promote lifelong healthy, active lifestyles that extend beyond their school years


In this vibrant department, you will work alongside sector-leading teachers and coaches, including ex-professional athletes and highly experienced teaching practitioners.

Many of our pupils achieve representative honours at regional and national levels, and several progress to elite and professional sports after school. Our students are enthusiastic participants, with opportunities to strive for excellence in a wide range of activities.

Our Prep School, St David’s School, is a new addition to the Trust, and provides excellent academic and pastoral care to pupils in Purley. Our pupils, parents and staff experience a warm and friendly environment with strong pastoral care for every pupil alongside a comprehensive co-curricular and enrichment programme. Our latest ISI Inspection was carried out in September 2022, and we are delighted to report that Royal Russell achieved the top grade of ‘excellent’ in every aspect.



Our exceptional on-site facilities include:

  • 6 full-size grass football pitches (1 floodlit)
  • An Olympic-standard floodlit hockey pitch
  • 2 floodlit all-weather courts for netball and tennis
  • A large, well-equipped sports hall
  • A strength and conditioning suite
  • A 25m indoor swimming pool


In addition to the opportunity to join a top team, we offer excellent benefits, including:

  • Free meals during term time

  • A pension scheme
  • Discount on school fees
  • Use of the swimming pool and strength and conditioning suite
