Job overview
Teacher of MFL, Leeds
Hours per Week: 0.4 FTE
City of Leeds School is a vibrant, unique and caring small secondary school community situated in the university ward of Leeds. We will not compromise on our commitment for our students to access their full potential and seek to recruit individuals who will support and enhance this pledge.
If you agree that:
- The most vulnerable young people need the best teachers and support staff
- Cultural, linguistic and ethnic diversity creates exciting learning environments
- It takes continuous commitment to succeed in challenging schools
- The rewards are tremendous
- You can act as a positive role model for our students
Then we want to meet you.
We are experiencing a period of rapid change and from Easter 2014 will be the first secondary school in the country to place teaching English as a Foreign Language on our daily curriculum. With 50+ languages spoken, a significant number of the student population within 5 years of entering the UK and a high percentage of ethnic minorities attending our school, it is our obsession to support all our learners to become confident, productive members of society by equipping them with the gift of communication.
We are seeking an outstanding, creative practitioner of French (with the ability to offer one or more other languages an advantage) to support and continue our rapid drive for improvement. We wish to appoint an outstanding, experienced, enthusiastic and passionate teacher or an NQT who shows the potential to be outstanding. The appointment will be for two days a week initially for one academic year; further details available at interview. We anticipate finding a very particular teacher who would relish the opportunity to become involved at our unique school; it really is quite different to the majority of schools in the UK.
Ideal candidates will:
- be enthusiastic, inspirational and well-qualified
- consistently demonstrate high standards of delivery
- be committed to raising attainment across all key stages
- be prepared to show initiative and work collaboratively to share good practice
- keep up to date with curriculum developments
- have an absolute commitment to multicultural education
