Outwood Academy Hindley is part of Outwood Grange Academies Trust. Being part of the Trust means that all staff have access to excellent opportunities for professional development at all levels, with scope to build a career across a range of schools. In MFL there is a dedicated team of Directors who provide subject specific CPD and in school support to ensure that quality teaching and learning leads to outstanding outcomes for all students. 

The MFL Faculty is welcoming. Our vision is to open a window on the world to students in the local area and inspire them to be confident communicators and rounded individuals. We have worked closely with the MFL Directors in the Trust to improve our results, which are on an upward trend. Any languages are welcome. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced or new member of the profession to join a vibrant and outstanding learning community and play a key part in achieving our vision. A full and supportive ECT programme is provided, too. 

We offer French and Spanish from Year 7 through to GCSE. In year 7 our students learn both languages on a dual languages programme and then make a choice into year 8 about their future study, with the option to continue with both languages or focus on their preferred language.

We take pride in our enrichment programmes and our focus on cultural capital both within and outside of curriculum time. We host a generous number of KS4 weekly enrichment sessions targeted at our Year 10 and 11 students as well as a weekly KS3 enrichment for our keen younger students where they can participate in language games, competitions and cultural activities.

We believe that the students of Outwood Academy Hindley both deserve and need exceptional staff role models. We are looking for staff who care, who inspire, and who believe in our students' potential.
