What skills and experience we're looking for
The role will provide the successful applicant with the chance to further develop and teach an exciting curriculum in KS3 and KS4 as well as teaching A-level if desired. You will need to be able to teach one language to KS4 (ability to teach A level would be an advantage) and ideally the other language to KS3 level. You will be part of a dynamic and growing teaching team and you will therefore have the chance to significantly shape the experiences of our students in the subject as they progress through our growing school. As second in faculty you will have an area of leadership that will be agreed with you, likely to be leading a key stage, or taking the lead for French or Spanish.
What the school offers its staff
Great Western Academy opened in September 2018 and now accommodates over 900 students in years 7 to 11 and the Sixth Form. The results of our first three A-level cohorts in summer 2021, 2022 and 2023 were excellent and enabled 98% university applicants to take up their offers, including three to Oxford and Cambridge; students have also secured prestigious apprenticeships with companies such as Airbus and Rolls Royce. Our first GCSE results in summer 2023 showed that the progress made by the large majority of our first cohort of year 11 students has been excellent, particularly in English and Maths. This includes students of all abilities.
The foundations we have laid in languages are excellent: our current teachers have set up an innovative provision, exploiting the fact that every student has a laptop to assist with their learning; students are enthused by their language lessons and we have an excellent take-up at GCSE Spanish and French, including many double linguists. The faculty recently underwent a very successful ‘Deep Dive’ as part of a strong Ofsted inspection.
