Teacher of French and German (MPS Outer London) NQT
We are looking to appoint a well-qualified and committed specialist teacher of French and German for September 2017.
At Chadwell Heath Academy we provide an excellent education for all of our pupils. In our last inspection the School was judged to be ‘Outstanding’ by OFSTED in all categories. We believe strongly in comprehensive education and its ability to change lives. We believe that pupils have the right to attend a school where they can achieve success. 90% of our students go on to university study. We want pupils to feel enthused by the opportunities that await them, and proud to be part of a multi-cultural community. The School is an oversubscribed 11- 18 mixed gender, stand-alone Converter Academy. We currently have 1200 pupils on roll including a thriving Sixth Form of over 300 students. Academic and extra-curricular activities ensure that pupils leave the School fully prepared to take their place in society.
We have very high expectations of all staff and for the right person this is a superb opportunity to develop teaching and leadership skills through bespoke CPD provision and opportunities for in house career progression. This includes a comprehensive induction programme for all new staff. You will be working in a modern, well resourced, supportive department, which has superb facilities.
The post would offer excellent opportunities for a new entrant to the profession with the post holder teaching to GCSE, AS and A-Level.
All students study French and German in Years 7 and 8 and then opt for one language which can be taken to GCSE, AS and A level. The post is to teach either French or German throughout the School from Year 7 to GCSE, A/S and A level and the second language to at least Key Stage3. The Department is well resourced and runs annual trips to both France and Germany.
The successful candidate will be passionate about their subject, dedicated to providing exceptional learning experiences in the classroom, and keen to contribute to wider aspects of school life. The department is held in high regard, with an excellent long term track record of academic success.

About Chadwell Heath Academy
The School
We are a successful, all ability 11 to 18 six form entry co educational Academy. We have approximately 1230 pupils on roll, including a Sixth Form of around 300
We believe in the importance of supporting and encouraging all our students to succeed. It is our expectation that the majority of our pupils will complete their education in our Sixth Form.
To encourage achievement, effort grades and credit certificates are presented throughout the year for academic, artistic and social endeavour. Academic progress is monitored through a mentoring programme and regular assessment. All pupils are tested in formal end of year examinations.
Support teaching is an important feature of our approach to education. Pupils with learning difficulties are carefully assessed and given additional help in subject lessons.
There are many opportunities for pupils to develop their special interests and aptitudes, with many clubs connected to academic subjects as well as regular Music Concerts and Drama productions providing the opportunity not only to perform, but also to be involved 'backstage'.
Pupils have the opportunity to join teams in many different sports and participate in numerous inter school competitions.
We are very much part of the community and all Year groups become involved in charity work.
How the School is Organised
On entering our school, pupils are placed in one of six tutor groups under the pastoral care of a Form Tutor and Head of Year. They stay within this group to the end of Year 11 thereby ensuring that they have the continuity and stability necessary for success.
We seek to create an environment in which pupils feel that staff are available to listen to them, guide them and where necessary take action on their behalf. We find that this is best achieved by organising the School into three tiers, corresponding with each of the key stages. Each tier has a Head of School whose responsibility is to coordinate the work of the academic and pastoral teams to ensure that all our pupils achieve their very best.
