Teacher of MFL Required

Required for September 2019 an enthusiastic, well-qualified and successful classroom practitioner to join our successful and vibrant MFL department. You would be joining a team of 5 language specialists who are supported by a specialist TA and foreign language assistants. It is a great team to join.

We are looking for a colleague who can teach French and/or Spanish up to GCSE level; A level teaching is also available. The ability to offer some French teaching in KS3 would be an advantage. The department currently offers courses in French and Spanish at GCSE and A Level in our very successful Joint Sixth form. As a former language college the school has retained its commitment to languages and there is an excellent take up for the subject. Even though we have now chosen to make languages non-compulsory at GCSE Spanish remains a very popular option subject.

Our academy is high performing and in 2018 attainment was above the National Average in all of the key performance measures. The 3 year average individual ALPS grade is ‘outstanding’ for all languages in our Sixth Form. In 2018 Spanish again achieved the ‘outstanding’ benchmark.
