We are seeking an inspiring and motivated individual to lead the next phase in the development of our school’s outdoor education provision. At our school, we believe that outdoor education plays a vital role in the personal growth and development of our students, and we actively encourage participation from all pupils across Years 3 to 13.

This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate and experienced Outdoor Activity Lead to work collaboratively with a dedicated team of staff who already support this important area of our co-curricular programme. Our current provision includes:

• An annual Year 7 camp
• A thriving Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme
• A variety of clubs and activities, including a very active climbing club

While this appointment is key to maintaining the continued success of these existing activities, we are particularly keen to hear from candidates who bring fresh ideas, energy, and enthusiasm to further expand and enrich our outdoor education offering.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in one of the country’s leading independent schools, inspiring pupils through challenge, exploration, and adventure in the natural environment. We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced professional with a genuine love of the outdoors and a clear understanding of the importance of outdoor activities in supporting pupil development.

The successful candidate will have a proven track record of inspiring young people and will be committed to enhancing the high-quality and extensive provision already in place.

RGS Newcastle is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff to share this commitment. All posts are subject to pre-interview referencing, internet searches and pre-employment checks including an enhanced DBS check with children's barred list check.
