Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
We require a Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages to join our team from 1st September 2024.
At Wyvern St Edmund's we offer our students French, German and Spanish. We are particularly looking for a candidate who is able to teach French up to KS4 and then either Spanish or German up to KS4.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced and outstanding classroom practitioner with a track record of strong outcomes. This could also be an ideal opportunity for an exceptional Early Careers Teacher.
What the school offers its staff
At WSE, we are committed to a knowledge-rich curriculum and a traditional teacher-led, interactive approach to teaching, behaviour, and culture. We believe in teaching powerful knowledge, ‘the best that has been thought and said,’ and providing a compelling aspiration-raising ethos. Our approach is greatly influenced by Doug Lemov’s ‘Teach Like A Champion,’ Rosenshine’s principles, and recent developments in cognitive science. We have a consistent, routinised, collective philosophy around teaching and learning and aim to create a scholarly culture that is warm, strict, disciplined, and joyful, ensuring impeccable behaviour so that teachers can focus on teaching and pupils can focus on learning.
We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational, and academic education for all our students, enabling them to learn, thrive, and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, regardless of their background, prior attainment, or needs. We do not lower expectations due to a child’s background or home life; instead, we redouble our efforts to help them overcome barriers and flourish.
We value our staff highly and take workload seriously. Our systems are designed to be high leverage, allowing you to focus on your core purpose – teaching – in a sustainable way, free from bureaucracy or poor behaviour.
What We Offer:
• Extensive support and progression opportunities
• A knowledge-rich curriculum built on ‘powerful knowledge’
• Collaborative planning with centralised, shared units of work and resources
• Excellent support from the MLP team
• A feedback policy focused on whole class feedback – no onerous marking policies
• Disruption-free learning and a ‘warm/strict’ behaviour system
• Highly visible and supportive senior leaders
• Centralised detentions
• No formal graded lesson observations – just ongoing supportive feedback
• Excellent ongoing CPD, career development, and promotion opportunities
Commitment to safeguarding
Wyvern St Edmund's are relentlessly focused on safeguarding and promoting the welfare of it's children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
