The appointed teacher will plan and deliver a progressive and coherent programme of French and Spanish that is carefully tailored to suit a wide range of ages and developmental stages. From introducing Nursery children to new sounds and simple vocabulary through songs, games and stories, to building confidence, accuracy and communication skills in older pupils, the role requires creativity, adaptability and a deep understanding of how children learn languages.
Language teaching at our school is intended to be enriching, immersive and culturally informed. The successful candidate will bring languages to life by introducing pupils to the traditions, customs and everyday life of French‑ and Spanish‑speaking countries, helping them to develop curiosity, cultural awareness and respect for others alongside linguistic skills. Spoken language, correct pronunciation and enjoyment of communication are central to our approach.
