Assistant Head of Subject - Modern Foreign Languages with TLR 2.2

The Governors wish to appoint a first rate, enthusiastic Assistant Head of Subject for Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) with the skill to teach across the full age and ability range.  If you are highly motivated, have a passion for Languages and have the ability to inspire our pupils then we would love to hear from you. 

The MFL department at Broughton Hall is innovative and forward thinking. At GCSE and A Level students are taught the Edexcel specifications and we have consistently achieved very good results in all areas. At KS3 we follow the Viva scheme of work but are currently adapting and enhancing the curriculum to incorporate national developments in teaching and learning. Currently all students study Spanish at KS3 with more than half of the cohort continuing to study Spanish at KS4. We co-teach Spanish at A Level with Cardinal Heenan and numbers are good. We are looking at ways to reintroduce French into the curriculum and continue to offer this at KS4.

The successful candidate will be:                                                     

• An MFL specialist with excellent subject knowledge
• An outstanding classroom practitioner with a dedication and desire for teaching and learning
• Someone who is passionate about Languages and has the ability to inspire and foster a love of learning
• Committed to the school’s vision and demonstrating compassion through the mission statement
• Dedicated in ensuring students achieve the best outcomes
