(TLR Payment of £7,000 – £9,000 depending on experience)

Due to the existing Head of Department moving onto Assistant Headship, we are seeking to appoint an outstanding and dynamic individual to lead the Modern Foreign Languages department into the next phase of its development. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced linguist to further develop the success of a team of hard-working, well-qualified French and German teachers who pride themselves on their reputation for producing engaging and stimulating lessons. Exchange links are well established for both languages, as is the employment of Foreign Language Assistants to support students in all three Key Stages.
