• An inspiring informed educationalist with a clear understanding of what makes outstanding educational provision for all in their subject domain.
• Someone who will go the extra mile for pupils, not because they are asked to, but because they want to. Someone who will do their utmost to ensure that all of our pupils’ progress to the future destinations of their choice.
• Someone who will inspire pupils and the staff they work with and build strong relationships with our parents, carers and community partners.
• Has experience of teaching languages in a secondary school (as a teacher or as student teacher),

• Is a flexible and perceptive classroom practitioner who can engage students across the age and ability range and enable all to learn, enjoy and make progress,
