Job overview
Required for September 2017, a full-time permanent teacher of French and Spanish to join our highly committed and successful MFL team.
We are looking for an enthusiastic teacher with excellent classroom skills. The successful candidate will be a talented teacher of French & Spanish – the ability to teach one or both to A-level would be an advantage. French is taught to all pupils in Year 7.

Our aim at Balcarras is simple: we want this to be one of the very best schools in the country. We aim to ensure that our students receive a better education here than they would at any other school, be it comprehensive, grammar or independent. To this end we were delighted recently to win The Sunday Times Southwest State School of the Decade Award.
We pride ourselves that this is a school where every individual is valued and feels safe, where all students are inspired not only to do their best but to expand their horizons, and where everyone involved in school life feels a great sense of pride and enjoyment at being part of this community.
We are keen to emphasise not just academic success but those areas which bring colour and vitality to the student experience, such as art, drama, sport, music and the full range of extra-curricular activities on offer. I do hope that this visit to the school’s website will give you a flavour of some of these things and an insight into what makes the school a special place to be.
If you would like to follow up your virtual tour with a real one please get in touch.
