We have a proven track record of school improvement, offering students an exciting curriculum and opportunities to perform, showcase their talents and experience the world of work outside of the classroom.

We believe exceptional teachers create exceptional results; they transform lives and transform futures. They support every student to achieve their full potential and become a confident, resilient and compassionate individual who can make a positive contribution to society. 

We believe that exceptional teachers should be supported too, with all the opportunities needed to develop and achieve their goals. We can offer exceptional continuous professional development, support and opportunities for career development. 

This is an exciting time in the school’s journey to sustain and develop further as an excellent provider of high-quality education. We are looking for a teacher of French; the ability to also offer Spanish is desirable but not required. We are looking for an inspiring individual who is academically well-qualified to degree level in a modern foreign language or a related discipline.
