Maternity cover, 1.0 FTE, MPR1 – UPR3 (January 2024 onwards)

We are a five form, mixed, selective school seeking an enthusiastic and well-qualified linguist to join our experienced French department. Candidates must be able to teach French from Year 7 through to Year 13 to cover the maternity leave of a colleague. It might be possible to cover this absence between two part-time teachers.

We are graded Good by Ofsted in September 2022. We are proud of our reputation for being an inclusive, friendly and welcoming school that focuses as much on the development of the whole student as much as it does on their academic progress. The School is a friendly, dynamic place to work, where both staff and students thrive because they are highly valued. Our students are bright, able and eager to learn, and due to our environment of excellent behaviour, teachers are able to teach their subjects to a high level. The School is situated in a beautiful area of Kent, close to both coast and rolling countryside. It is also close to the channel crossings at Dover and Ashford and has very good connections to London via the High Speed rail route to Kings Cross and the A2/M2 by car. Local house prices and rents are considerably lower than those in London and the Home Counties.

Please note the School does not offer sponsorship for overseas applicants who require it for employment in the UK.
