We are looking for an inspiring Teacher of Spanish and French to join the MFL Department on a 1-year fixed maternity cover. The MFL Department at Lord Wandsworth College is organised into the French and Spanish Departments, each with its own Head of Department. We are a strong team of 11 full- and part-time staff, including a Spanish assistant and a French assistant, and we work cohesively and positively together. We follow the EDEXCEL courses in Spanish and French for GCSE and AQA for A Level. You will be expected to teach Spanish at KS3 and KS4, French at KS3, KS4 and KS5, and be confident in preparing pupils for Oxbridge. All pupils are strongly encouraged to study a modern foreign language to GCSE, and many choose to study both French and Spanish. We offer a range of co-curricular events, such as regular film evenings and theatre visits, and our languages prefects are involved in many departmental and whole-school initiatives. We organise a biennial homestay for GCSE and A-Level pupils to France and Spain. Each classroom is equipped with wireless internet access and a Smart TV. Pupils access resources via their own devices and teaching is supported by Microsoft OneNote. There is a central bank of resources, a staff area and a library space containing a range of books for general reading and for reading around A Level topics. You will be expected to carry out the professional duties of a teacher as circumstances may require and in accordance with the College’s policies under the direction of the Headmaster.
