Job description

Overview

Closing date: Midnight Sunday 12th October 2025
Interview date: Thursday 16th October 2025

This role is suitable for experienced teachers, ECTs and those currently training to teach. We offer salaries on the Inner London pay scale.

We are seeking an inspirational Spanish teacher to join our dynamic and successful department. Ealing Fields is an academically ambitious school with a strong sense of community. We have consistently ranked in the top 1% of schools nationally for student progress. Our students share our high aspirations, and behaviour across the school is exemplary. As part of the highly successful Twyford Trust, we also offer exciting opportunities for professional development and career progression.

Our department is committed to innovating, developing, and sharing best practice in language teaching to ensure that students of all backgrounds and abilities can succeed and enjoy learning Spanish. Teachers work collaboratively within the department and across the Trust, supported by a well-developed curriculum, high-quality lesson resources, and a robust assessment structure. These elements are designed to support teachers in delivering consistently outstanding lessons, while also providing space for them to develop their practice and innovate.

We pride ourselves on the supportive culture across the MFL department, the wider staff body, and the leadership team. Exceptional professional development is a key part of our offer, including weekly training sessions and one-to-one coaching. As a small secondary school, every student is well known to staff, which helps foster a close-knit community grounded in strong values and our shared mission: to enable every student to live “Life in all its fullness.”

The core purpose of this role is to secure outstanding progress in all classes taught while also delivering excellent pastoral care—both in Spanish lessons and through the pastoral curriculum as a form tutor. Our teachers are deeply involved in school life and work together to promote the school’s ethos and vision, for example through active participation in the house system and wider learning opportunities beyond the classroom.

Ealing Fields is easily accessible by public transport, with the Piccadilly line just a short walk away and regular buses to Ealing Broadway, which is served by the Central, District, and Elizabeth lines.
