The school is rapidly expanding and is searching for proactive, passionate, highly effective classroom practitioners to join the growing team.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a French teacher to join the school’s well-established Modern Foreign Language department. The role would be for KS2 and KS3 French groups. KS4 and KS5 teaching would certainly be available in future years.
