What skills and experience we're looking for
We seek to appoint an excellent teacher of Spanish and French to join a growing and successful Modern Foreign Languages Department in our diverse and very popular school. Most students study a language at GCSE and A levels are available in all three of the languages we offer.
All students study at least two languages in KS3 and must choose between German, French and Spanish for their 3 year course in GCSE. We currently have one A-level class per language, and their attainment results are excellent.
The MFL team comprises nine specialist linguist teachers plus three speaking languages assistants who are firmly committed to providing a high-quality language education that should foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. Therefore, we have valuable enrichment and extra-curricular activities for students, such as regular competitions in target languages, study conferences for A-Level, Language Leaders helpers and Spanish and German exchange trips.
What the school offers its staff
We are committed to supporting staff wellbeing in a variety of ways. The good working relationships within the staff body, and between staff and students is why many colleagues have chosen to stay with us for the long term. We are also strong in supporting staff career development and colleagues are successful in securing promotions at all levels. We support colleagues in pursuing NPQs and offer a secondment programme onto the Senior Leadership Team for middle leaders.
Although we achieve excellent results year on year and are heavily over-subscribed, we are not complacent. We know there is always more to do, and we work together to continuously reflect upon our successes and areas for development. We are keen to hear the voices of all our stakeholders.
