This is a truly exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and ambitious French teaching specialist to work as part of the MFL department at The Mirfield Free Grammar part of Great Heights Academy Trust. You will be instrumental in inspiring and motivating our students. You will play a key role in helping to drive the Academy forward, raising standards and creating outstanding life chances for students.

We are looking to recruit a teaching professional who is truly passionate about teaching French from KS3 to KS4.

In addition, we are home to a SCITT, Research School and an English Hub.

As standard, we offer ongoing Continuous Professional Development covering all aspects of teaching, learning and leadership, preparing you for the next phase of your career. We are confident that new teachers joining our school will feel welcomed from the moment they start their journey with us, and we absolutely encourage prospective applicants to visit our school prior to applying if they wish.

We look forward to hearing from you.
