About this Role

Join Our Successful and Welcoming MFL Team

Are you passionate about Languages and driven to inspire every young person to reach their full potential? Do you believe in high performance and inclusivity? Do you enjoy sharing your passion for language and culture with children who are keen to travel, aiming high and hungry to learn? Do you take pride in supporting pupils to access our wider world through languages?

William Howard School, part of the forward-thinking Cumbria Education Trust, is a vibrant and inclusive community where both students and staff are supported to thrive. We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, talented and caring MFL teacher to join our committed and successful department. Spanish to GCSE is highly desirable ( French at KS3 is an advantage).

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a friendly, collaborative team in a school that values creativity, innovation, and professional growth. Our department is growing; Modern Foreign Languages is a popular subject and our well behaved students enjoy learning about language and culture both in and beyond our happy classrooms. Our students study either Spanish or French from year 7 to A level, with some electing to study Languages at degree level. Students also enjoy opportunities to study Italian, German and Dutch in KS3. We are seeking a true team player who will enjoy contributing to our exciting journey as our department continues to blossom. An engaging, enthusiastic approach in your MFL classroom style would be welcomed as we aim for highly motivating and interactive learning for all students across our curriculum where enjoyment is paramount.

If you're ready to captivate the next generation of foreign language speakers and inspire a love of culture and travel for life, we’d love to hear from you.
