This is an exciting and rarely available opportunity for an exceptional teacher of Languages to lead a large department that delivers a core curriculum of French, German and Latin. All boys study at least one modern foreign language to GCSE level and the post holder is responsible for an extensive co-curricular programme including foreign exchanges, trips and after-school lessons in other languages, such as Spanish, taught by peripatetic teachers.
