Can you inspire young people through your own passion for Languages? Do you possess high emotional intelligence that builds lasting professional relationships? Are you a team player ready to tackle the educational challenges of the future? Do you lead by example? If the answers to these questions is 'yes', then Gildredge House wants to hear from you. This is an excellent opportunity to join our school. We are looking to appoint an exceptional candidate to the position of Head of Modern Foreign Languages for our all through free school. We are looking for someone to lead the strategic direction and development of the department, whilst driving the quality of teaching and learning forward.

As Head of Languages you will join an outstanding team of inspirational teachers, where you will ensure that our students enjoy and achieve highly in their language learning. You will be a French and Spanish specialist in the secondary phase. This is an exciting time to join our Outstanding Languages Department, with opportunities for professional development ranging from KS2 transition with Year 6 to inspiring our students to choose Language studies at Sixth Form and at University.

Within the Languages department, you will find a team who are dedicated to providing engaging, stimulating lessons to students of all abilities, and classrooms where rapport and relationships are given the highest priority. We plan with creativity and teach with enthusiasm, ensuring that every student reaches their full potential. We aim to help students develop resilience and confidence in the face of a challenging curriculum, not only to prepare them for demanding examinations but also to foster a lifelong love of languages and the world around them.
