Tel: 01254 231051
Roll: 630

**Information**

We would like to extend a warm welcome from all pupils, staff, governors and trustees of Rhyddings. Rhyddings serves the East Lancashire old mill town of Oswaldtwistle and surrounding area. It has been at the heart of the community for 90 years and enjoys good transport links via the M65 corridor and adjoining networks of M6 and M66. The school has been in a period of transition, having returned to our permanent site following a £10 million re-development, back in the heart of our community, and establishing a more normal return to school following the pandemic.

We are also part of a group of founding schools to form a new multi-academy trust, within Hyndburn, with a neighbouring high school and two primary schools. The LET Education Trust will provide exceptional education across its schools, placing staff development and opportunity as a priority for improvement. The post is vacant due to the re-location, ,of the current staff member. Therefore we are seeking to appoint a Spanish specialist to lead the department onto further success.

The department has two full time language teachers, suited together, but also benefits from a wider MFL network via the ELSA and LET Education Trust. We have access to MFL SLE Support from within the Trust. We currently offer Spanish at KS3, 2 hours per week, and 5 hours per fortnight at KS4, following the AQA GCSE Specification.

Although numbers are relatively small at GCSE they have increased year on year. We also offer the opportunity for pupils who are native speakers of other languages to enter for GCSE, most recently Italian. An opportunity to introduce a second language would be considered. We are keen to further promote MFL within our curriculum and ensure there is sustainable growth on the firm foundations already in place.

Lancashire County Council has a Policy Statement on the Recruitment of Ex-offenders this is available to all applicants upon request.

**Essential Qualifications**

**Desirable Qualifications**

**Essential Experience**

As a middle leader you will be expected to have experience in teaching across both KS3/KS4. You will have autonomy on curriculum intent and GCSE specifications and will also work closely with a member of SLT and other language specialists from the Trust. We want a teacher who strives for excellence, builds fantastic relationships and maximises pupil progress. A commitment to extra curricular provision is essential. The Trust operates full salary portability on the MPS.

**Desirable Experience**

**Proposed Interview Date**:
TBA

Please contact Mrs G Worthington, PA to the Headteacher, on 01254 231 051 for an informal discussion.
