Further details about the role
We are proud of our broad offer of languages at The Castle School. Four languages are taught - French, German, Mandarin and Spanish - and students are able to choose the languages that they study. The department is ambitious and experienced and currently consists of 6 teachers.
We have consistently high expectations of students and the level of vocabulary, structures and grammar that they are using. We use authentic materials where possible to enable students to learn about and understand the countries where the target language is spoken. We aim to help them to develop an intrinsic motivation to explore and respect other cultures and to become curious about the wider world, alongside deepening their linguistic knowledge.
We promote a love of languages in our lessons and also offer a very wide range of extra-curricular languages activities for our students. In addition, we have established strong links with partner schools abroad and also run study visits. For Spanish there are opportunities to support the existing exchange and to introduce future study visits.
At GCSE level, our outcomes are excellent and we have healthy numbers of students who choose to study a language at A level when they leave The Castle School.
