Modern Foreign Languages Assistant - Spanish

Temporary Position (1st September 2019 – 31st May 2020)

18 hours per week, term time only

Actual Annual Gross Salary: £14,460 per annum (Gross Monthly Salary: £1,205)

The Cherwell School is a successful comprehensive school in Oxford, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic Modern Foreign Language Assistant (specialising in Spanish) to work within our Modern Foreign Languages Faculty. The appointed colleague must be a fluent speaker and experience of working with young people would be an advantage, although not essential. You will be assisting the language teacher with language classes or teaching small groups on your own. An important element of the role will be to improve your students' confidence when communicating in Spanish. You will also work to ensure classes are interactive and fun by discussing contemporary aspects of youth culture in Spain such as current affairs, education, sport, fashion, films, TV, lifestyles and celebrations to keep students engaged in the subject. This can be done by planning activities/ games and using photos, travel guides and maps as well as text extracts from newspapers or the Internet. At A-Level, you will be working with small groups of students and preparing them for the very specific requirements of the Edexcel speaking exam: this will require an advanced knowledge of Spanish current affairs and of the Spanish language.

Values and Vision

The Cherwell School is a unique and remarkable school that has been central to our part of Oxford for a long period of time. We have a commitment to excellence in all that we do. The opportunities that we offer are extensive and rich. As a school community we take responsibility to reduce barriers and offer a 'no limits' culture and ethos.

We believe in the importance of seeing each child as an individual within our wider community. We are a non-uniform school. Our young people are encouraged and supported to be themselves. We work with them to develop incredibly strong and durable relationships with the adults around them - it is this which makes our big school feel small.

We offer a rich ambitious curriculum that genuinely opens up the world to our young people. In addition our personal development programme and wider curricular offer helps to create rounded young people who mix skillfully with staff and with each other. All of this is done in a highly inclusive environment that champions diversity. We have a commitment to support children with Special Educational Needs.

The school is an exciting place to be. There is always something different, innovative and enriching happening. We currently have over 30 clubs and societies operating as well as continual unique events and experiences. Our students tell us that they are proud to come to The Cherwell School and we are proud of who they are and what they become.

Ofsted Report

“The Cherwell School is providing an outstanding level of education. The prior attainment of students on entry is slightly above average but this masks the very wide range of ability students have on admission. This makes students’ outstanding achievement through the school even more impressive. Another key factor in students’ excellent academic achievement is the great strength in their personal development and well-being. Their mature and responsible attitudes also prepare them very well for the next stage in their lives.”
