What skills and experience we're looking for
We require a well-qualified part-time teacher of MFL (Spanish and/or German) to teach across the age and ability range (with the possibility of teaching up to and including A Level) in a faculty that achieves excellent results and high standards. We are looking for an enthusiastic and imaginative individual to help all our students to ‘achieve their potential and enjoy the journey’. You will join a friendly and committed MFL Faculty where results are consistently significantly above national averages.Staff wishing to increase their hours may be able to do so if they are able to offer another taught subject. ECTs are welcome to apply and we offer a full programme of induction and support.
Modern Foreign Languages are highly valued at our school with Spanish, French and German all offered. All pupils study two of these languages throughout Key Stage 3. None of our pupils are compelled to choose MFL for GCSE options but a very high proportion of each cohort do so and they go on to achieve excellent results at both GCSE and A Level. The Faculty is supportive, well resourced and there is a varied and exciting extra-curricular offer, including overseas visits and a Young MFL Leaders Programme. The Faculty welcomes innovation and collaboration and seeks to broaden the pupils’ horizons and cultural capital.
What the school offers its staff
Visitors tell us that our school is a friendly, lively and stimulating community where we emphasise the importance of the individual’s contribution and take pleasure in sharing and celebrating achievement. They commend the good behaviour of the pupils and their thirst for knowledge. Bishop’s is a diverse community that offers mutual support and encouragement and expects everyone within it to respect others’ heritage, cultures, religion and beliefs. We hope that the values, self-discipline and sense of personal worth that pupils gain here will be a support throughout their lives as British and Global Citizens. We welcome applications from candidates from racially minoritised backgrounds and from other groups that are underrepresented in the UK education system.
Bishop’s Hatfield Girls’ School is heavily over-subscribed and has around 950 pupils on roll including the Sixth Form. We are fully committed to our values of teamwork, respect, honesty, trust, kindness and ambition. The school completed its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2022 and was judged to continue to be Outstanding. However, we are not driven by Ofsted and our priorities lie in supporting our pupils to develop their knowledge, skills and character through the ‘Bishop’s 360’ model. The school has benefited from a total rebuild on the same site and enjoys excellent state of the art facilities. BHGS holds International School Status, the Music Mark and is a Fairtrade School. Hatfield is within easy reach of London and other areas and the London Fringe Allowance is payable. This is an exciting opportunity to join the school at a time of growth and development.
The school's Admissions’ Code gives priority places to children of staff and we give high priority to staff development. Staff are able to apply for our Professional Development Award which provides bursary payments to help finance CPD that goes beyond the school’s usual training programme.
Commitment to safeguarding
We take safeguarding of our students extremely seriously and an enhanced disclosure will be sought through the Disclosure and Barring Service as part of the school’s pre-employment checks.
