Curriculum Leader of MFL

6 days ago

Turf Hill Road, United Kingdom Kingsway Park High School Full time

We are looking to appoint an experienced Teacher of MFL or established head of MFL who is looking for a new challenge and is willing to join an innovative and forward-thinking department. The ideal candidate must have a real passion for languages and be equipped with the skills to maximise outcomes for students at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. This would suit an MFL leader with either French or Spanish as their main language. Currently, students either study French or Spanish three hours a week over a two week timetable, however SLT are open to the idea of expanding the curriculum time if the correct staffing is in place. At KS3 we teach in mixed ability groups and then, where possible, in Higher/Foundation sets in KS4.

The continuation of a language at KS4 is optional but popular, with currently 4 GCSE classes in Y10 and five GCSE classes in Y11. We work closely with Rochdale 6th Form, as part of the wider Altus trust, to ensure progression from KS4 to KS5. Additionally, as a rich linguistically diverse school, the MFL department also supports the students to achieve GCSE in their home language, with over 50 students sitting additional MFL exams in their home language most years. We are looking for someone with the drive and passion to continue to increase the subject popularity on a whole school scale.

The MFL department at Kingsway Park High School is a supportive and established department that is well resourced with 5 teaching rooms. The department has a dedicated hour, as part of the fortnightly timetable, where all members of MFL can work collaboratively to improve outcomes in MFL. Members of the teaching team include a Deputy Head, a Head of Year and the Timetable Trust lead. Planning is shared with each teacher taking a lead on a specific language/year group and then individual teachers being responsible to adapt to the specific needs of their students. There is a work area for staff within the department which allows the team to work cohesively.

We currently use a mixture of E.P.I and Michel Thomas in KS3 and then follow the Edexcel Pearson course at KS4. Planning and curriculum development is highly regarded and therefore main scale teachers receive 20% PPA with additional time given to those with additional teaching and learning responsibilities such as Curriculum leaders. Finally, this is a really exciting opportunity for someone who is vibrant, passionate and pioneering about languages for all and will raise the MFL department profile on a whole school scale.

Kingsway Park High School was established in 2010 and joined the Altus Education Partnership in February 2022. We are now a very popular oversubscribed school (1350 students in years 7-11 and 190 staff) located in central Rochdale. We are very proud of the high-quality facilities, resources, and environment that we provide for both staff and students.

At Kingsway Park High School we strive to transform students' lives. Through our relationships, we endeavour to instil both resilience and an intrinsic motivation to become confident, creative and highly skilled students, capable of meeting tomorrow's challenges head on. We strive to establish a culture rooted in achievement and progress that encourages our students to grow academically, personally and socially, equipping them with the values of equality, fairness and openness. We pride ourselves on our relentless drive to achieve outstanding, high-quality teaching that provides a safe, supportive and encouraging environment for all our students to be able to realise their academic potential in pursuit of educational excellence.
