Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages

Can you lead by example by being an outstanding classroom practitioner and have the ability to enthuse both students and colleagues alike with your passion for language?  Will you ensure that languages permeate across both the school and the curriculum?

We are looking to appoint a well-qualified, innovative and committed teacher to the Languages Faculty, where Spanish and French are taught across the age and ability range. You will be expected to teach French to a high standard and motivate and excite pupils so that they can learn effectively.  The successful candidate will be enthusiastic about out of classroom learning e.g. partnerships, trips and exchanges. The person appointed should be able to teach Spanish as their second subject.

The successful candidate will be responsible for sustaining and improving the quality of language education offered to students.  You will be part of a vibrant and committed Faculty and will further enhance its already excellent reputation and results.
