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 French to KS4 (ability to teach A level would be an advantage) and ideally Spanish to KS3 level though this is not essential. 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.

There is the potential for this role to develop as the school and Sixth Form grows, with various leadership opportunities becoming available in future years, both subject and whole-school based. Our priority is very much to recruit the best classroom practitioners who can ensure our students arrive at the Academy excited about the day ahead and leave each day talking about the excellent learning they have experienced.

What the school offers its staff

  • Great Western Academy aims to radically improve the life chances of every student who attends. Our brand new building and state-of-the-art facilities help us to achieve this, but it is the fantastic team of staff who turn our vision into reality. If you have the proven ability to inspire students in the classroom and beyond then this provides you with an exciting opportunity to further shape your practice and develop your career.

    Additional benefits of working at GWA include:

    • Average class sizes of 26 in years 7 to 11
    • Excellent CPD programme
    • State of the art facilities
    • Leading edge ICT, including a laptop provided for all staff and pupils
    • Medical and Wellbeing Support Service
    Easy access to the A419 with free parking on site

Commitment to safeguarding
