Job overview

Archbishop Sentamu Academy is a rapidly and strongly improving academy at an exciting stage in its pursuit of excellence.  

We currently offer French, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese to GCSE level and are now looking to appoint an outstanding Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages who has the ambition and passion to work with the Head of Department in raising standards further in this subject. The ability to teach French is essential, however the ability to offer Spanish would be welcome.

Results have been rising over the past few years and last year saw a significant rise in the percentage of students achieving A* - C in French and combined with our Erasmus + partnerships, students are offered the opportunities to participate on a variety of school exchanges and visits to broaden their horizons making MFL a popular subject amongst students.

A significant proportion of students take languages through to GCSE, and all are popular subjects; our ambition is to increase further the number of students taking languages at GCSE level

The department is committed to developing an international ethos through our European partnerships with France, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Poland and in addition to our Erasmus exchanges, we also have a long-standing exchange programme with Da Cheng School in Beijing. We have in the past won the “international school of the year” award and are excited to have been selected to offer the Mandarin Excellence Programme.

Comprehensive leadership training will be given through our partnership with the Pathfinder Teaching School, to equip the successful candidate not only with the skills for this role, but also for further promotion.

For further details, please contact Human Resources on 01482 781912.

About Archbishop Sentamu Academy

Archbishop Sentamu Academy is one of six Hope Sentamu Learning Trust secondary schools. The academy has undergone a period of transformation and rapid improvement since joining the last OFsted and has this year celebrated the most successful results on record. This is an exciting time for the academy and will be an exciting opportunity for an ambitious educational professional to join the team. This is a great career opportunity, a chance to work in a close knit community but with extensive opportunities for professional development across the Trust as a whole.

Archbishop Sentamu is an 11-18 Church of England comprehensive school which serves a mixed, but heavily deprived catchment from East Hull. The academy is over-subscribed; it has a growing population of more than 1400 students who enter the school with attainment below national averages, but with an increasing number of high attainers and gifted and talented pupils. Our commitment to every child is absolute and we strive to meet the needs of all our pupils whether they are capable of achieving ten Grade 9’s at GCSE or require the support of a full time teaching assistant or individual package of learning in order to reach their full potential.

Our distinctively Christian vision is that everyone will be able ‘to lead the best life possible’, now and in the future. It is underpinned by the words of Jesus in John 10:10 which says, “I have come that you may have life in all its fullness.” Our vision is lived out through our academy values of Respect, Community, Courage and Wisdom. This leads to an ethos where we expect each individual to be their very best by accepting personal responsibility and always striving to do better. Each member of our community is respectfully treated to have the courage to push themselves to be inspiring future citizens and have the good wisdom to ensure they seek the support they need to do this. These expectations extend far beyond learning. We expect the highest standards of behaviour, creating an environment where students feel safe, sanctions are applied fairly and positive contributions are recognised and rewarded.
