We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and talented qualified MFL teacher to join our languages Faculty. As a school, we look for talented individuals who are excited by the opportunity to transform Languages teaching with an interest in research development. The landscape of education is changing and our knowledge led languages curriculum will allow you to teach a subject you're passionate about, using proven methods that let our students thrive and make rapid progress in the target language.

Languages are highly valued at our school and as such, unlike many other schools, students take French as a compulsory GCSE. We also teach Language Development as part of the IBCP in the Sixth Form. Our subject specific and whole school CPD will allow you to develop your career in an incredibly supportive environment, with opportunities to visit other schools and attend educational research conferences so that we are able to reflect on our practice to make our school the most incredible place to work and learn.

A second language would be desirable as we hope that with our ever increasing pan we will be able to reintroduce Spanish to the curriculum
