Job overview
Teacher of Spanish, with German
The Governors wish to appoint a well-qualified, innovative teacher to join our strong and supportive Languages Faculty. This is a main scale, fixed term post of one year in the first instance. The school has a strong NQT programme and a long history of successful work with newly qualified teachers.
The Languages Faculty team currently consists of four full time and three part time staff. It is led by a Faculty Leader supported by two Curriculum Leader TLR posts. The staff are very experienced. Each Languages classroom has interactive whiteboard facilities and laptops are available for use within the Faculty.
The Faculty has been very successful at both Key Stages and produces some of the best value-added for the school at GCSE in French, German and Spanish, averaging above 70% pass rates over the last three years. Two forms in Year 7 take German at Key Stage 3, three take French and the remaining three take Spanish. Students are only given very little choice as to which language they start with, and thus continue with throughout the school. At Key Stage 4 around 55% of students opt for languages and as a faculty area and school we are committed to increasing this.
A significant amount of networking and support work is in place with local secondary schools and the Faculty has supported neighbouring primary schools with the innovative and successful ‘Project Tapas’ which involves The Earls’ students teaching primary school pupils one night per week.
This is a full time, fixed term post for one year in the first instance. Further details are attached and are also available on our website:

The closing date for applications is 9am on Tuesday, 1st May.
The Earls High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
