MFL Teacher of French and Spanish - Fixed term

MPR / UPR

‘There is a strong culture of learning and an eagerness to become even better across this school’ Ofsted 2017 

Ryde Academy is a community where inspirational teaching, self-evaluation and self-improvement are evident from the moment you enter our school. We welcome all routes into teaching through School Direct, PGCE and we are a host school to Teach First and Ambition School Leadership. 

Our students are diverse, exciting and talented – and the same is true of our staff. We put huge emphasis on professional development, most of it in-house, and are proud of the high number of good and outstanding teachers who work in our school. We are also noted for our ‘can do’ attitude. We are keen, always, to encourage new and/or young staff to make their mark as soon as they are ready. 

We are proud to serve the communities around Ryde on the Isle of Wight as an 11-18 school where our staff travel not just from Cowes and Yarmouth but from Portsmouth and Southampton. Ofsted judged us as a ‘good academy’ in January 2017 and our Principal Joy Ballard as ‘an inspirational leader’. 

In 2017 we celebrated 60% of our students obtaining 4+s in either English and maths. We know that they can do even better. We want Ryde to lead the way in teaching excellence and for all our staff and students to develop their maximum potential. Get on board and make a real difference to our children and to your career. 

We are keen to enhance teaching capacity and teaching standards both in the Academy and on the Island. We work with teacher training centres in the South with huge success. 

The ideal candidate will: 

• Be passionate about French and Spanish
• Bring an unwavering commitment to promoting the highest standards of teaching and learning across the department and the academy;

• Be a committed team player; 
• Have the ability to engage and inspire pupils and build excellent relationships; 
• Be committed to our ethos of shining bright together;
