Are you a visionary leader ready to shape the future of language education? We are seeking an exceptional Head of Languages to drive our aspirational curriculum, where languages are not just taught but experienced. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring a continuous and enriching linguistic journey for students from their starting point in year 7 guiding them through to mastery at GCSE and beyond.

Working in a brand new school is a unique and rare opportunity and we are seeking a highly skilled Head of Department - MFL with a can-do ethos, drive, grit and boundless enthusiasm. MFL is a compulsory subject until year 11 so we are seeking someone with the knowledge and understanding of second language acquisition to help all students succeed.

It is essential that our Head of MFL is a highly effective teacher with an exceptional understanding of curriculum design, is supportive of others and openly shares best practice, modeling this with their growing team. They need to embrace a forward-thinking approach to both curriculum intent and implementation, with carefully sequenced high-quality learning experiences for our students.

The ideal candidate will have a track record of excellent outcomes and an awareness of the latest MFL pedagogy, cognitive science and second language acquisition to continue to challenge our students, making us a beacon for MFL teaching in the UK. The MFL team currently consists of 2 staff and one Assistant Principal who all teach French and Spanish. The successful candidate will play a fundamental role in managing this growth and the recruitment process going forward.

This post would suit an experienced and ambitious subject specialist who is sympathetic to challenging perceived orthodoxy and who wants to play a leading role in continuing to build a very high-performing department.
