What can a PE teacher expect in Cambridge?
Cambridge is a sporty city, with rowing on the Cam, a strong running and cycling culture and clubs for almost every sport. Many village colleges have large sports centres used by the community, which means good facilities for school PE.
PE teachers teach core PE to every year group, and most schools run GCSE PE and BTEC or Cambridge National sport. A level PE is offered in some 11–18 schools and colleges, with plenty of anatomy, physiology and sports psychology.
Schools want PE teachers who can run fixtures and clubs, and who can adapt lessons so every student, including those with SEND, enjoys being active.

- Plan and teach core PE lessons across KS3 and KS4
- Teach GCSE PE or vocational sport, and A level where needed
- Run clubs, fixtures and sports events
- Adapt activities so every student can take part
- Keep students safe in practical lessons
- Promote healthy, active lifestyles

- Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking for their first post or induction placement
- Experienced teachers returning to the profession or looking for flexible supply work
