What skills and experience we're looking for
Manor Croft Academy are looking to appoint a Teacher of French to join our academy in September 2024 on a full time, permanent basis, and be part of our forward thinking and aspirational team. You will teach KS3 and KS4 French.
We welcome ambitious French Teachers with the ability to enthuse and engage students in languages. From running a weekly French Club, to highlighting MFL within our whole-school careers initiatives, to recently taking a group of 100 students on a trip to Paris, there are lots of activities for you to get involved with (or bring new ideas to!) to help further enhance our students learning and engagement in French.
Whether you are an ECT or an experienced teacher, we would love to hear from you and show you why Manor Croft Academy is a great place to teach.
We have created carefully sequenced five-year curriculum plans for both French and Spanish using the national curriculum and the key recommendations of the 2016 MFL Pedagogy Review, and we regularly update them. Each one is fully resourced, with detailed lessons prepared for you to adapt to the needs of your classes. We use an online coursebook to underpin our teaching, along with our trust knowledge organisers. Every unit of work includes a cultural topic to help instil a love of languages as well as promote a desire to get to know more about people from those countries. We subscribe to an on-line learning platform to support the learning of vocabulary. Perhaps our biggest and most impressive investment is in our team of modern language assistants. We currently have 17 native speakers in our academies and our pupils love working with them!
