What skills and experience we're looking for
This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic teacher of French and Spanish to work in our forward-thinking and successful school as we strive to be outstanding in all we do. The post would be suitable for either an Early Career Teacher or an experienced practitioner. Sharples School provides a very effective and supportive induction programme for ECT’s. For experienced members of the profession, there are many CPD opportunities within the school to add to their existing range of experience and expertise. There are opportunities for working with classes across the ability spectrum at both KS3 and 4 and to work in a pastoral role as a form tutor.
We are looking to appoint an excellent teacher of either French or Spanish and ideally someone able to deliver both languages at KS3. The MFL Department at Sharples is housed in a well-resourced suite of rooms which provide a positive learning environment for classes across both key stages.
We require someone who can demonstrate and evidence:-
- Excellent communication skills;
- A high level of subject expertise and an in-depth understanding of curriculum pedagogical and assessment issues associated with achieving outstanding results at both key stages;
- Excellent teaching and improving student outcomes.
The key areas of responsibility will be:-
- To plan teaching to achieve outstanding progress in students’ learning;
- To set high expectations for students’ behaviour, establishing and maintaining a good standard of discipline through well focused teaching and the development of positive and productive relationships;
- To use a variety of teaching methods and resources, which sustain the momentum of students work and keeps all pupils engaged;
- To use assessment information to inform planning and maximise progress;
- To mark and monitor students work providing constructive feedback and setting appropriate targets to maximise progress.
