What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, committed, well qualified MFL teacher. We encourage submissions from ECTs as well as more experienced teachers. We would particularly welcome applicants who are able to teach either French or Spanish, with the ability to teach both subjects, at least at KS3 (and ideally to GCSE), being advantageous.
Castle Donington College is an 11-16 school. We have around 700 pupils on roll across five-year groups (Years 7 to 11). The College is situated on the north-west edge of Leicestershire, close to the borders of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. It is within a 30-minute drive of Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Loughborough and Burton, with easy access to the M1 and A50.
In June 2024 we received an Ofsted rating of ‘Good’ and we are very proud of our community and the pupils we serve. We chose to join the East Midlands Education Trust, a successful and thriving partnership of high achieving schools in January 2022. We have high aspirations for everyone in our community whether pupil or staff. We are therefore seeking to appoint a teacher who has a clear desire to contribute to the future success of the College and to support our young people to become the best they can be. The future is exciting, and we invite you to join us on the journey.
All our staff work collaboratively to support each other, share best practice and drive school improvement. We are committed to a happy, purposeful and secure environment that provides the opportunity for all to grow and develop. Our staff are highly valued, well regarded and fully supported. We can offer a coherent programme of induction and we have a strong commitment to professional development. Your development will be a key priority for us, regardless of your experience.
The job description and person specification will give you further details about what we require. We welcome and encourage prospective candidates to come and visit, to meet our staff and pupils and to experience first-hand the ethos and values of the College. If you believe you have the skills and qualities to help us continue to be successful, then I look forward to receiving your application.
