Job overview
Full Time (Part Time considered no less than 80%)
Required an enthusiastic and inspiring teacher of Spanish with French. The ideal candidate will be able to offer Spanish in the Prep and Senior Schools from Years 5 to 11 (GCSE), with French as a subsidiary language.
St Edmund’s is an expanding and successful school of over 500 girls and boys aged 2 to 16 and there are currently six members of the MFL department. The position is offered full-time or part-time (no less than 80%) and arises due to retirement. The school participates in the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.
St Edmund’s is thriving with numbers the highest in its 147 year history. Average class sizes are small, circa fourteen pupils. In 2021 our students posted a 100% GCSE pass rate (grades 4–9) against a national average of 77%. The proportion of grades awarded at 7-9 was 72% compared to a national average of 29%. Passes at grade 9 rose to 31% and over 70% of candidates were awarded grade 9 in one or more subjects. More than half of students achieved eight or more grades 7–9.
The school was inspected by ISI in June 2021 and the key findings were:
- The quality of the pupils’ academic and other achievements is excellent.
- Pupils develop high levels of knowledge, skills and understanding as they progress through the school.
- Pupils are adept and confident communicators.
- Pupils have outstanding attitudes to their learning and are determined to succeed. Pupils achieve well in a wide variety of curricular and co-curricular activities.

- Pupils develop strong self-confidence and self-knowledge from an early age.

About St Edmund's School Trust

"Life isn’t about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself". Such words by George Bernard Shaw, (a former resident of our main School House), perfectly encapsulate the ethos we undertake to instil in every pupil at St. Ed’s. A traditional education with a modern twist, we encourage our children to be themselves; we allow them a voice and we listen to what they have to say. In its 142nd year, St. Edmund’s inspires a foundation of decency in every pupil priming them with the time-honoured values of respect and humility. Two attributes that are scarce in many aspects of society these days, but standards that are vital for achieving success in today’s challenging and ever changing world.
With these principles at the heart of school life, it is of natural consequence that St. Ed’s culture of superior academic standards and exceptional pastoral care are complemented by our commitment to small class sizes and a dedication to the practice of Learning Outside the Classroom. Of equal importance are the discoveries, excitements and good old-fashioned fun that St. Edmund's creates inside our 40 beautiful acres endorsed by the excellent facilities we are fortunate enough to offer, including an immaculate golf course and indoor swimming pool. These attributes together with our pioneering and thriving Optional Saturday Activities Programme allow our pupils to sample and enjoy a wealth of activities that enrich our busy curriculum.
You join us at an interesting time. Pupil numbers are at their highest level in the school's 140 year history, yet we successfully retain that small school ethos where we know every pupil well and where every child makes a difference to our community. Our recent expansion to GCSE demonstrates our steadfast commitment to our pupils' achievements and future opportunities whilst also further developing the St. Ed’s experience in its entirety.
During our ISI Inspection last year, The Inspectors captured the real essence of life at St. Ed’s, commenting "Pupils have positive attitudes to learning and they are well motivated. They show exemplary behaviour and their care for each other is special". We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
I hope that you enjoy browsing through our website – we aim to give you a flavour of the unique and at times quirky experiences available for your child. If you think that you might be developing a taste for us then do come to see for yourself what it is that makes St. Edmund’s so special - you will be very welcome.
