PE Teacher Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’m applying for the PE teaching role at [Company Name] because I know how solid physical education can shape students’ confidence and wellbeing. In my current role I’ve helped a large year group move from low participation to regular activity, with class participation rising by about 25 percent over a semester after introducing targeted fitness challenges and small-group coaching. I’m not looking for flashiness, just steady progress that teachers can rely on. My strengths lie in lesson design, skill progression, and clear safety practices. I’m comfortable leading fitness sessions, coaching in a range of sports, and integrating basic health education into daily teaching. I’ve built routines that support kids with different abilities, and I track attendance and participation to adjust programs quickly. I’m curious about how your school approaches student wellbeing and would value aligning my approach with [Company Name]’s framework. A recent example from [Previous Company] illustrates what I bring to the role. I introduced a term-long football program that combined skill drills with small-sided games, while also teaching hydration and injury prevention. The result was a noticeable uptick in engagement during gym periods and a safer playing environment that reduced minor injuries by a measurable amount. I keep communication open with parents, welfare staff, and school leadership to support student development. I’m available for a chat this week to discuss how I can contribute to your students’ physical literacy and healthy habits. I’m happy to provide references and further detail on programs I’ve led. Kind regards, [Your Name]
