What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you an exceptional and committed teacher of Modern Foreign Languages who is seeking to work within a supportive, dynamic and highly successful MFL department? As a key member of the team, you will have the ability to teach across Key Stages 3 & 4, including the delivery of GCSE. If you are a strong classroom practitioner and an excellent communicator, we would love to hear from you!
We pride ourselves on being a highly innovative and successful faculty and are committed to delivering the syllabus through active learning and digital technologies, utilising our status as a Microsoft Showcase School in which all pupils have access to their own ‘one-to-one’ device.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled and enthusiastic teacher to join our vibrant, MFL department. We have recently become an all-through school, serving pupils from the ages of 4–16, so the opportunity to learn about primary provision and develop expertise in transition is a real advantage of this role.
Fostering pupils’ desire to study languages is a key priority here at Ribblesdale, as evidenced by the newly opened Languages Café at the heart of our school – in our recent three-quarter of a million-pound library renovation.
We seek a teacher who shares our innovative approach to teaching and learning, who will be able to demonstrate the creativity, flexibility, and resilience needed to offer outstanding opportunities for our pupils – something Ribblesdale School provides in abundance! Our overarching aim is to enable all our pupils to become confident and inquiring individuals and to cultivate a lifelong love of learning. We look forward to receiving your application!
Suitable for an ECT or an experienced teacher.
What the school offers its staff
Our expert, friendly teaching and support staff work hard to ensure that our school continues to grow and improve, keeping our pupils’ development needs at the heart of all we do. ‘The Ribblesdale Way’ encapsulates the core beliefs and expectations we hold for our pupils and staff. Ribblesdale School is a Microsoft Showcase School and a founder member and key contributor to the North-West EdTech hub. Every pupil in our care benefits from our Ofsted Grade 1 personal development programme which incorporates our unique enrichment curriculum.
Ribblesdale is a popular and successful school which enjoys close links with the local community it has served for more than 90 years. I would positively encourage candidates to visit Ribblesdale School in order that they may better understand the ethos and atmosphere of our learning community.
