Teacher of MFL

We are seeking to appoint a highly skilled colleague to join our successful and friendly school. We are very proud of our community at Midhurst. Our students chose our values of respect, happiness and achievement and everything we do in school is seen through that lens. We are an 11-19 United Learning Academy with a roll of 1175, including 120 in Key Stage 5. The College is currently oversubscribed and we are expecting our student numbers to grow over the next three years to over 1350.

Midhurst Rother College is an outstanding (Ofsted, May 2013) school situated in a modern, eye-catching and fantastic building – there really are very few schools quite like it. We are situated in the South Downs National Park in the beautiful and picturesque village of Midhurst, with easy transport links to Chichester (25 minutes) Portsmouth (35 minutes), Guildford (30 minutes) and Worthing (45 minutes). Brighton is under an hour away from us.

We are seeking a dynamic teacher of MFL (French and ideally a second language) September 2023 to join our excellent MFL faculty. We offer French, German and Spanish from beginner to advanced level. All students are taught by subject specialists. We are a friendly and supportive department who all offer two or three foreign languages. Curriculum provision for languages is excellent. All Key Stage 3 students learn one or two languages and numbers continuing onto GCSE and A level courses in languages are rising. Supported by our Languages Advisor and colleagues across the country at United Learning, we share best practice within our school and across our multi-academy trust.We already run two CLiL classes and would like to appoint a passionate teacher who is keen to help us build up "immersion" teaching at MRC. In recent years we have established a good range of study trips and exchanges abroad which we would love to continue doing with the successful applicant in the future as well.

Honesty, respect and trust are important to us, as is being prepared to learn and take on new challenges. We know that no one is the ‘finished article’ and we strive to do our best for our students every day. We are a welcoming school and if you join us, you will experience our ‘no blame’ culture, where everyone works together for the good of the students. It is essential that you have a restless determination and belief that all students can and will perform to the highest level. 

As a United Learning academy whose motto is ‘The Best in Everyone’ you will be someone who wants the very best for all young people and yourself.
