We are looking for an innovative and engaging Modern Languages teacher to lead our committed team. This is an exciting time to join us as we develop intercultural understanding through language learning both in the classroom and as a part of wider school life.
You will be a dynamic and confident practitioner, with the ability to bring learning to life and inspire a love of languages across all Key Stages. Currently we offer French but there is scope for the successful candidate to diversify provision.
This is a school where language learning is highly valued and very well supported by SLT, teaching and support staff. We are well-resourced; results at GCSE have improved rapidly and our students are keen to learn and progress. We run a variety of trips and have links with a partner school in Boulogne.
Our ideal candidate will:
• be a passionate teacher of MFL and a committed team player;
• demonstrate high levels of ambition and optimism towards student attainment and achievement;
• demonstrate evidence of raising attainment and developing excellence;
• have the resolve and enthusiasm to make a real difference to the lives of students.
Ofsted – ‘Teachers have high expectations of their pupils and expect all pupils to give of their best.’

About The Sittingbourne School

The College is very attractively landscaped with mature trees, shrubs and flower borders. Within the site there are currently over 30 acres of playing fields and 12 tennis/netball courts. There is also a floodlit multi-play outdoor complex. Our Sports Centre houses squash courts, two gymnasia and a sports hall and is open until 10.00pm each evening for student and community use.
The College’s academic facilities are housed in eight blocks which encompass modern science laboratories; specialist technology workshops; art, drama, music, dance and sound and vision recording studios; a sports conference room; extensive ICT suites equipped with over 600 computers.
In the last three years we have renewed two complete blocks and extensively renovated a further two. Current plans include vast expansion of the sports facilities and a further four new buildings in the next five years.
In addition, we also have on site a specialist department for deaf students, in which we have enrolled students from all over Kent. We use the ‘Total Communication Approach’ which has been elected by parents as being the method of education they prefer. Our deaf students have a greater level of inclusion within the College as the majority of their education takes place in mainstream classes alongside hearing students and staff.
The College prides itself on the quality of facilities for students - over 600 computers, with one computer for every two students; hi-tech digital recording studio; industry standard engineering centre; health and care training centre; and performing arts studios.
All students have free access, at all times, for both IT and Internet use. The College is open from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm every day to students.
A Homework Club and Extended Day activities are also available every morning and evening to students.
