What skills and experience we're looking for

The successful candidate will need to be able to teach Spanish from Year 7 beginners all the way up to A Level The ability to also offer beginners German would be advantageous.

The Modern Foreign Languages Faculty currently comprises a strong, experienced team of seven teaching staff, led by the Head of Faculty, Ms G Turnbull. Additionally, the Faculty employs two native speaker Foreign Language Assistants, one for each language from November to April each academic year.

As we are such a large, friendly, supportive and forward-looking Faculty there is always someone with whom you can discuss issues and develop new ideas. We are particularly interested in any candidates with experience of teaching the NCELP schemes of learning. The majority of our teaching occurs in a specialised set of rooms, all of which are equipped with interactive screens. The department is well resourced with text books, software and other equipment.

The Faculty is well resourced and is accommodated in a suite of classrooms at the heart of Main School.

We actively use Twitter and Instagram to motivate learners. We celebrate our best linguists termly with our ‘Legendary Linguist’ subject awards.

Pupils are also resourced with their own textbook. We use the Claro course for Spanish and Stimmt for KS3 German. At GCSE pupils use the OUP AQA GCSE textbooks for each language at either Foundation or Higher level. At A Level we use a range of resources, and pupils invest in the OUP series of textbooks and grammar workbook, together with a literature/film workbook.

The Faculty most definitely adopts a collegiate, team-working approach, focusing on Teaching and Learning and each colleague has the opportunity to contribute their ideas and develop them.

All colleagues are committed to sharing good practice and are fully supportive of others.
