As a 13-18 school in south east Northumberland with good standards of teaching and behaviour and a strong commitment to improvement, we believe passionately that every student should be enabled to succeed in all aspects of school life. Building on our ‘Good’ rating by Ofsted, we continue to strive for further improvements.

This specialist role is to teach French across Key Stages 3 and 4 from Year 7 to Year 11. You must be an excellent practitioner with a strong track record in delivering French, you will also ideally have some experience of Key Stage 2 although this is not essential, you should be committed to working collaboratively in a strong and hard working department, and be able to meet the varied demands of the school environment, by working enthusiastically and be able to inspire pupils to achieve high standards both academically and personally. There may be some opportunity in this role to teach A Level also.

Student behaviour and attitudes to learning are good throughout the school and we need a highly motivated individual who can enable students to exceed their expectations and have high aspirations for their futures.

This full time role will be based across the federation, working at Astley Community High School and Whytrig Middle School, which share the same site.
