Permanent from 1st September 2024


The Blue Coat School is looking to appoint an exceptional, enthusiastic and committed Teacher of French to join our successful and ambitious department. The ability to offer German, at Key Stage 3 would be an advantage, but is not essential. This is a wonderful opportunity to join a large and successful Modern Foreign Languages department and also support our work as one of only 19 recently accredited National Modern Foreign Languages Hubs.


This post, at a school with languages as a core subject and a strong A-level take up, is a great opportunity to be part of a talented and committed staff, supporting the development of its ethos and embedding that in the community of the school. Supported by a local, successful and experienced Trust and the development opportunities provided by the Languages Hub, this represents an extremely exciting opportunity to be involved in and exposed to the very best developments in languages teaching.


In brief we are looking for:

  • A teacher committed to ambition, excellence and community who will work with staff across the school to drive the growth and development of The Blue Coat School to become an outstanding provider for young people.
  • An inspiring informed educationalist with a clear understanding of what makes outstanding educational provision for all in their subject domain.
  • Someone who will go the extra mile for pupils, not because they are asked to, but because they want to. Someone who will do their utmost to ensure that all of our pupils’ progress to the future destinations of their choice.
  • Someone who will inspire pupils and the staff they work with and build strong relationships with our parents, carers and community partners.
  • Has experience of teaching languages in a secondary school (as a teacher or as student teacher),
  • Can establish good relationships with, motivate and inspire young people, and who shows the potential and commitment to become an outstanding teacher,
  • Is a flexible and perceptive classroom practitioner who can engage students across the age and ability range and enable all to learn, enjoy and make progress,
  • Is committed to professional development and becoming the best that they can be, and who has good interpersonal skills.

Welcome to The Blue Coat School  

Mission statement:  Faith – Vision – Nurture  

Welcome to The Blue Coat School website, which we hope will give you a really good insight into our school, and show how our young people are learning how to become everything they can be, and are meant to be.  You will find all the information about student achievement and progress across the curriculum, and links to national performance data and reports, so you can see how well our young people do, and why we are very proud of our academic record.  Just as important, you’ll also find, in the newsletters especially, a picture of life in a dynamic community where students grow in confidence, independence, leadership and resilience, not only in their lessons, but in the breadth of Blue Coat’s provision.  I hope you will also see how the school’s Christian ethos shines through, and that all our young people, of all faiths and denominations, learn to grow together in love, compassion, generosity of spirit, and mutual respect.  If you are an education professional, or would like to join this great profession, you’ll also find links to our work as a National Teaching School and lead school of The Northern Alliance and our work on system leadership, school-to-school support, research and development, and training the best teachers through the School Direct programme.  We look forward to meeting you.
