Position

Teacher of MFL

Job description

Wye School is a co-educational, non-selective secondary school, opening in 2013 and now fully established with a 6th form. We are a relatively small school, with 600 students, and a warm and friendly atmosphere. The school has built on United Learning’s successful track record nationally of providing an excellent secondary education for local children and is oversubscribed with excellent exam outcomes.

The successful candidate will join the school in September 2024 and will be part of a small Modern Foreign Languages department of two staff that deliver Spanish and French at KS3, KS4, and potentially KS5. This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate to be the Spanish specialist and, for the right candidate, to be the Head of Languages. As a small school, we work as part of a small, close-knit team, but being part of United Learning offers excellent professional development and future career prospects. We work alongside Chilmington Green School, the other local United Learning secondary school.

We welcome applications from both ECTs (not suitable for the Head of MFL role but will be considered for Spanish Teacher role) and experienced practitioners. We will consider a part-time request.

• An inspirational Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages who can successfully motivate and inspire students.
• Committed to ensuring that all pupils make excellent progress.
• Driven and determined to ensure that Wye School has a successful MfL department with high expectations for every student.
• Dedicated to their own professional development.
• Excellent ongoing CPD and career development opportunities.
• The opportunity to contribute to the wider school.
• Collaboration with colleagues from across the United Learning trust and across our local cluster of schools, Wye School, Chilmington Green School, and Ashford School.
• Potential for progression into middle and senior leadership opportunities.
• Working across a large and successful multi-academy trust with a shared curriculum, resources, and subject-specific support—this provides far more support for teachers around planning and assessment than the norm and is a great benefit of working for United Learning.

We actively welcome visits and would be delighted to show you the school. For a confidential discussion about this role, please contact:
