St Mary’s School is seeking a Teacher of French with Spanish and/ or German to work in our MFL Department. You will join a team of committed, enthusiastic Teachers who are passionate about the importance of Language Learning.
All girls in Key Stage 2 & 3 study French but in Year 8 add Spanish. French and Spanish are then offered as option subjects in KS4. We have a good proportion of dual linguists and a small number of girls are opting to continue languages at A level, some of whom go on to read Modern Languages at University. We currently follow Edexcel GCSE and A level courses in all three languages. Our girls have a proven track record of success at GCSE and A level, with many returning to school after university to encourage girls to study these subjects.
Trips to France and Spain are part of the MFL offering at St Mary’s. These trips are very well supported, and all staff in the department are expected to take part in these trips. A level students are strongly encouraged to complete work experience abroad organised via http://workexperienceabroad.co.uk/. The department is well resourced with dedicated classrooms and good ICT facilities. Language clubs are held in each language, a successful pen friend system is in place and the department celebrates Modern Language Day and European Day of Languages each year with a variety of activities.
The successful candidate must be able to teach French up to and including A Level. The ability to teach either Spanish to KS3 or German to KS4 is essential. This is a part-time role and your ability to teach one or two languages in addition to French will determine the proportion of the P/T role ranging from 0.5 to 0.9.
You should have stamina, good humour and be able to demonstrate strong organisational skills. Good ICT skills are essential and candidates should be aware that technology is used to enhance learning throughout the curriculum. Staff play a crucial part in the marketing of the school and attend all Open events , including those out of hours and at weekends, as well as our annual evening Carol Service in December and Prize Giving in July. Staff participation in the co-curricular life of the school is a requirement, developing relationships with students and their parents and ensuring a breadth of opportunities for our girls.
