What skills and experience we're looking for
The Governors wish to appoint a well-qualified, innovative Teacher of Modern Foreign Language, preferably French with a second language of either Spanish or German. The post is part time 0.6 (three days) and full time may be considered by discussion with the Headteacher.
The Languages Faculty team currently consists of two full time and four part time staff. It is led by a Faculty Leader supported by Curriculum Leaders for each subject. We subscribe to digital teaching resources to which both teachers and students have access, supported by a wide range of textbooks and in-house resources. The faculty work collaboratively to design the curriculum and assessments, and readily share resources.
The faculty is very successful at both Key Stages and produces some of the best progress scores for the school at GCSE in French, German and Spanish. Extra-curricular opportunities are also plentiful, with events such as Bake Off and the Spelling Bee taking place annually, and we have recently re-started visits abroad with a successful trip to Madrid. Professional development is highly valued, and the faculty lead teach-meets with local primary and secondary schools to share good practice.
Students in Year 7 are assigned French, German or Spanish, and they continue with this language all the way through to GCSE, ensuring that they make excellent progress throughout their time at The Earls. At Key Stage 4 around 55% of students opt for languages and as a faculty and school we are committed to increasing this.
