Head of Faculty: Modern Foreign Languages

1 month ago


Devon, United Kingdom Devon County Council Full time

Required from January 2025 (or earlier if possible).

Full time and part time applications considered (full TLR payment).

We are seeking an outstanding individual with drive, passion, enthusiasm and ambition to lead our MFL Department. This is an opportunity for an excellent classroom practitioner with strong subject knowledge and experience at teaching across KS3 to KS5 to take our MFL department and outcomes to the next level. 

You will have excellent organisational, planning and communication skills and have high expectations of all students to secure the best outcomes. You believe that all students are capable of success and recognise that success comes in different forms. Driving forward strategic priorities, you will ensure there is a robust curriculum and assessment framework in place.

As a leader you are inspirational, forward thinking and put students at the heart of everything you do. You are creative, dynamic, empathetic and have a natural ability to lead and empower both students and staff. You hold the highest expectations of yourself, your staff and your students and recognise the importance of the curriculum both inside and outside the classroom, and are innovative in your commitment to both, ensuring that MFL always has a high profile within the school.

Everything that we do here at Teignmouth Community School is driven by our belief that we are all capable of being a slightly better version of ourselves tomorrow than we are today. This is underpinned by the values that, we believe, will ensure that we are all always working to be  the best version  of ourselves.

By  working hard and never giving up  we remain open to limitless opportunities for progress. We firmly believe that you have not failed until you stop trying.

As a community we have a responsibility to  be kind and care for each other . We don’t need to agree with everyone, we don’t even need to understand everyone but there is absolutely nothing, other than our own fear, that stops us from accepting everyone.

And only by  joining in  can we  develop and grow . Our characters are like muscles: if we don’t exercise them, if we never push ourselves beyond that which is comfortable then we will never grow.

Our unwavering commitment at Teignmouth Community School is to challenge and support every member of our community to be the  best version  of themselves.

If this sounds like the kind of community you would like to belong to and you are confident you can lead our MFL team, then please apply.

The Ivy Education Trust works closely with all schools within the Trust and beyond. The Ivy Education Trust celebrates the diversity of each of its schools and is founded upon the alignment of vision and values that we all commonly hold to secure the best outcomes for our pupils. 

The Ivy Education Trust is committed to providing a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum in all its schools so all children and young people develop the character and qualifications needed to open doors to their future success. A strong focus on developing and providing inspirational teaching and leadership in all schools, through school-to-school improvement, ensures outstanding progress and educational enjoyment for all members of the partnership’s community.

The unique character of each school is celebrated and nurtured to ensure choice and variety in educational provision. The Trust is determined that all children should be able to attend a good or better school regardless of where they live.

Our mission is to improve life chances for every child and young person we serve, through broadening their opportunities and enabling them to reach their full potential. We support and all members of our learning community to dream big, aim high, and achieve more than they ever thought was possible. If you share these visions and aspirations, then we very much welcome your application for this post.

If you have any questions about the role, then please email Samantha Atkinson, Deputy Headteacher

Application forms and further information are available from our website, or via email to 

Completed application forms should be sent to  by 9am Monday 12th August.
Interviews will be arranged once applications have been shortlisted.
