Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
Crestwood Community School is one school, with two campuses serving central Eastleigh. We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and ambitious person as a Teacher of Spanish from September 2026. The MFL subject department sits within the EBacc Faculty. It is an exceptionally upbeat and innovative Faculty. It is cohesive, team spirited and well led. The MFL results are some of the strongest in the school and is a leading department in Hampshire. We are looking for someone who can play an active role in contributing to the already high standards within the department, especially as our attainment in MFL is high.
We are seeking someone who will be ambitious for our students, and has a vision for the development of Languages in our curriculum. The challenge for the successful applicants will be to contribute to further developing an already strong subject and continue to raise standards at both KS3 and GCSE.
This role would suit an experienced teacher or an ECT looking for their first post after qualifying.
The MFL department comprises highly experienced teachers. The department is headed by our Assistant Achievement Leader for the EBacc Faculty, who has led the MFL department in reviewing and adapting the KS3 and GCSE curriculum. The MFL department works collaboratively with each other in developing the challenge of the subject to maximise the progress our students make. Our MFL GCSE results continue to be some of the strongest in the wider EBacc Faculty, and the school. The department strives to give our students a broadened understanding of the world around us. We are committed to supporting teachers in adapting to the new AQA GCSE MFL specifications. We are a leading department in Hampshire.
What the school offers its staff
Crestwood Community School had an Ofsted inspection in February 2024, which confirmed that we continue to be a ‘good’ school. The report stated that at Crestwood “there is a welcoming, friendly atmosphere”. They also said that “teachers and support staff, including those in the early stages of their career, are proud to work at the school. They particularly value school leader's careful consideration of their workload and well-being so that they can focus their efforts fully on pupils’ education.” In addition Ofsted report that “many pupils, staff and parents describe the school as a ‘big family’. This is a happy school, where staff and students want to be. The #Crestwoodfamily pervades through everything we do.
Our Head Teacher has a clear vision and an absolute determination to improve the provision of education across Eastleigh.
We care deeply about our school, the staff, the students and the community we serve, we are a school with a heart. We as a school are clear about our improvement agenda and we work cohesively as a school wide team. As this was our fifth consecutive “good” grading it demonstrates that at Crestwood we are continually providing a consistent quality in all we do, against a backdrop of tougher standards and criteria to be judged against.
As a school we take staff well being seriously. We offer staff the following:
• wellbeing weeks, with no commitments scheduled after school
• free lunch every day
• half termly cooked breakfasts
• accrued inset days, taken as twilights, giving staff an additional 4 days off a year
• One well being day per year (during term-time), to be taken at their chosen time (after a qualifying period)
• weekly thank you bulletin
• birthday cards
• heads discretionary leaves of absence for family events
• acts of random kindness
• access to mental health first aiders
As a new member of staff you will be well supported: we have a comprehensive induction process, and you will be given an Induction Mentor and a ‘professional buddy’. Crestwood prides itself on developing its staff through bespoke coaching and training. Many members of the faculty have been successful in gaining promotion within the school.
We will ensure that the successful candidate has:
• comprehensive induction including a dedicated mentor
• continuous professional learning, development and improvement
• the opportunity to contribute to raising standards for all our students
