What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint an inspirational and dynamic leader for this key role within the school. You must be a strong linguist, passionate about your subject area, committed to the highest level of achievement for all students. You will be required to teach across the age and ability range. You will be required to teach Spanish and ideally be able to offer a second language; however, this will not be a limiting factor.

Robert Blake School is a thriving and rapidly growing non-selective school of just under 1100 students. The school is built on strong relationships and in the near future will be joining the United Learning Trust whose mantra is ‘Children First’. It is an exciting and rewarding place to work and our ethos of ‘Aspire|Achieve|Celebrate’ lies at the heart of all we do.

The school is located less than 2 miles from Junction 24 of the M5 in Bridgwater and is in a stunning state of the art facility. We are committed to the continuous professional development of staff and will provide opportunities for you to shine.
