“To have another language is to possess a second soul.” – Charlemagne

We have more pupils learning a language than ever before. We need an enthusiastic and dynamic practitioner to lead on our modern foreign language provision to ensure all pupils receive the best possible experience of this essential subject.

Through collaborative leadership, you will lead your team in creating a strong curriculum and ensuring our young people have the best possible experience of learning a language.

If it would not be good enough for our own relatives, it is not good enough for our pupils. This is our golden rule. We simply want the best for every child, regardless of where they were born, how much money they do or don’t have and who they are (gender, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation).

If you have the passion and vision to be part of our future and share our relentless drive for school improvement, we would love to hear from you. We want people who will not only grow the next generation but people who are also eager to take every opportunity to grow themselves through our excellent professional development opportunities.

We are committed to fostering a culture that values the health and well-being of all employees at Matrix Academy Trust. We are proud to offer a comprehensive well-being package to all employees, including access to 24/7 online GP, physiotherapy services and counselling services. We also offer all employees annual health checks which includes the flu jab, BMI checks and a general discussion with a qualified Nurse.

You can contact the Headteacher and arrange an informal look around school by emailing Joe Phillips: jphillips@wednesfieldacademy.co.uk

Our Trust vision is simple: every child deserves an exceptional education. We believe that an exceptional education is one which opens doors for our pupils in the future. Studying a foreign language is key for keeping as many doors open as possible.

We know that developing pupils’ international outlook and cultural capital are vital for us to secure the best possible future for every child. We therefore place great importance on the study of a foreign language to GCSE for all children within our Trust.

Studying a foreign language provides an insight into other cultures and can open the door to travel and employment opportunities. They can also broaden pupils’ horizons, helping them flourish in new environments. Our wider curriculum offer includes chances for pupils to experience life in other countries, including tailoring support to overcome individual barriers to travel, such as cost; we always apply for Turing funding to give pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds opportunities they may not otherwise have.

We also know that employers value languages, as they are increasingly important to make sure the UK can compete in the global market. We want all children, but especially those in the most disadvantaged communities served by our Trust, to have the best possible employability options.
