King David High School is a Jewish faith based school located in South Liverpool and serving the needs of the Jewish and wider community.
We are seeking to an appoint an outstanding candidate to join our Modern Foreign Languages team within the Humanities Faculty at King David High School.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a hard-working, enthusiastic and ambitious classroom practitioner who is committed to ensuring that all students fulfil their academic potential at every key stage (11-18). We are also looking for someone who will engender a real passion amongst our student body for a study of languages so that the department can continue to grow at GCSE and at A-Level.
Currently, students at King David are given the opportunity to study French, Ivrit and German whilst we are looking to offer Spanish as part of our main provision from September. Thus, we are looking primarily to appoint a Spanish specialist, who may be able to offer French or German as a secondary language. A willingness to teach English at Key Stage 3 would also be highly desirable.

At King David we pride ourselves on our strong Jewish ethos and we expect all our students and staff to embody the school motto, "let there be light through faith and work," in everything that we do. Our principal aims are to always strive for improvement and to ensure that students and staff are happy and successful. If you believe you have the necessary values and expertise to strengthen our 'kehilla' then we would love to hear from you.

Our vision is:
“Excellence in lifelong education for the Jewish and wider community by collaboration with other schools and the whole community”

Our aims are:
- To provide a stimulating and enriching Jewish and secular education for all Jewish children in Liverpool
- To provide an education of quality and relevance to non-Jewish pupils
- To demonstrate the finest standards of multi faith and multicultural education by cultivating the distinctive qualities of the cultures within the school rather than by blurring their distinctions
- To provide a broad and balanced curriculum to enable our pupils to achieve their full potential
The High School is situated on a large Jewish Campus. King David High School, King David Primary School, Harold House Youth and Community Centre with playing fields are all situated on one campus on Childwall Road, a major route into the city of Liverpool. Our links with the Jewish community and wider community are strong. The challenges ahead are to focus on developing the learning and teaching agenda, use of enhanced ICT Facilities due to the move to better facilities with greater opportunities to transform learning and teaching and ensuring achievement and standards remain high for all pupils in our outstanding school
King David High School has a key role to play in the education of young people in Liverpool. It is a high achieving school. We have a comprehensive intake but most of our pupils are above average attainment when they arrive in Year 7. Two thirds of our pupils come from King David Primary School.
We underwent an OFSTED inspection June 2010. We were judged as Outstanding. A Maths inspection in November 11 also judged the school to be outstanding in this area.
