Job overview
New Start New You!
This is an exciting time to join our Modern Foreign Languages Department as we move to a brand new Eco building. For current and future learners, the environment and facilities for learning will allow students to learn in modern and pioneering ways.
In MFL we will be at the forefront of this work and we are actively seeking to promote to all students the opportunities that come with such an exciting move. .
We teach both French and Spanish and are looking into expanding opportunities for all children to experience both languages. A specialty in one, and an ability to teach the other is required. The department is well resourced digitally as part of the Northwest and National Languages hub; this additionally provides an excellent programme of bespoke CPD for all of our languages team. Students are encouraged to use a range of online learning apps with on site access, and are supported to further their studies via the same platforms at home.
We passionately believe this should be an exciting learning pathway for all students at Byrchall and welcome others with the same passion, skills and knowledge to work with us.
Applications should be returned to the school office no later than the deadline of 9.00am on Monday 22 April 2024 to delkin@byrchall.wigan.sch.uk Applications will be considered upon receipt.
If you have any questions about this post, please do not hesitate to contact our Head of MFL Deanne Turban dturban@byrchall.wigan.sch.uk

Computing, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are particularly strong at Byrchall High School and Triple Science is always a popular option at GCSE level.
The school also has close links with schools in Tanzania and South Africa.

Values and vision
Byrchall High School recognises that all children are different and that one size does not fit all. This is why, along with core subjects, it also offers dozens of different courses such as Music, Drama, Food, Business, Graphics, Art, Product Design, Spanish, French, and Psychology. Indeed, there are more than 32,000 different subject combinations for Year 9, 10 and 11 students.
Ofsted
“Teaching is good. Learning is most effective when students enjoy their lessons, when care is taken to match tasks to their different needs and when they are given detailed feedback on how to improve their work and given time to do so. Students appreciate their teachers’ efforts and respond by working hard and behaving well, both in lessons and around the academy. They are welcoming and polite to each other and to adults.”
