Harrow, United Kingdom Canons High School Full time

Canons High School is a vibrant and dynamic multicultural school community in Edgware, NW London. Our school is renowned for being one in which people matter. Relationships are strong, opportunities for progression are many and the personal and professional development of adults and children is at the heart of what we do. Our most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2023 judged us to be good in all areas, noting that students “feel valued”, that our “curriculum is ambitious”, that staff “workload is reasonable” and senior leaders “are approachable and care”.

At Canons, we pride ourselves on the training and development of all our staff so that students are taught effectively and supported within and beyond the classroom to the highest levels. School leaders at all levels are well-equipped to use their professional judgment and a wide range of information to challenge and engage all students to achieve success, identify underachievement, act upon it and help students get back on track. We offer a well-balanced three year KS3 programme that enables students to enjoy success in their GCSE exams, which begin in Year 10.

We are looking to recruit an experienced teacher to lead the Languages department to teach KS4 Spanish with French or Italian to at least KS3. This is an innovative, dedicated and creative department. We are continuously striving for greatness and are eager to embrace new ideas which will allow us to maintain high standards, both in our teaching and outcomes for students. Our emphasis is on providing the very best teaching and learning, alongside opportunities for teaching staff to develop their careers. We have high aspirations for all and work collaboratively and proactively to ensure success.

The Languages department at Canons supports students to become confident communicators who are prepared for life as global citizens. Throughout their career as students of French, Italian or Spanish, the aim of our language teaching is to increase student’s linguistic confidence, promote independence and raise intrinsic motivation. On arriving at Canons High School, all year 7 students have an opportunity to try our three timetabled languages during our Languages Carousel. They then opt for the language they would prefer to continue with for the rest of years 7, 8 & 9, and potentially into GCSE and beyond.

Our curriculum offer is intended to be one of excellence where we promote the development of powerful knowledge for all our students while allowing all of our students to access that powerful knowledge irrespective of ability, in an inclusive fashion.
