What skills and experience we're looking for

We are a thriving, diverse, and forward-thinking school that fosters a passion for learning and global citizenship. Committed to developing inquiring, knowledgeable, and open-minded students, we offer a broad curriculum that combines the IB Diploma and Middle Years Programmes with GCSEs.

Our Modern Languages department is central to our international ethos, where all students study two languages at GCSE and continue at least one in the Sixth Form. We offer French, Spanish, German, Italian, Mandarin, and Japanese, providing a rich linguistic and cultural experience.

We are looking for an inspiring and dynamic Head of Modern Foreign Languages to lead our ambitious and supportive team. The successful candidate will be responsible for shaping the vision of the department, driving excellence in teaching and learning, and fostering a love of languages across all key stages.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced language educator with a strong track record in leadership or for a talented teacher seeking to take the next step in their career. The successful candidate will also be required to contribute to the College’s trips and exchanges programme and to promote internationalism throughout the school.

Join us and be part of a school that celebrates languages, cultures, and the power of education to inspire global citizens.

The College offers a rigorous and broad curriculum, and is proud to be one of the largest state schools offering the prestigious International Baccalaureate Middle Years and Diploma programmes.
