Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
We are delighted to invite applications for the role of Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages with a specialism in either (or both) French or Spanish. Thomas Keble is an over-subscribed 11-16 secondary school in the heart of the Cotswolds. You will be supported in thepost by an experienced Head of Department and collegiate department.
The successful candidate will be appointed on their skills and experience, however, as important to me will be your approach, attitude, and beliefs. You can use our website to find out more about what we do and why we do it. Choosing the school for the next stage of your career is an important one and, to that end, we welcome prospective applicants to visit before deciding to apply.
We are looking for someone who shares our values, is ambitious for all children, and will help to build and sustain our school culture. As a school, we can offer a supportive, dynamic, and professional environment where teachers can focus on inspiring their students and subject leads are empowered to deliver their subjects in a way that suits the pedagogy of their respective fields.
What the school offers its staff
As a school community, we work hard and go the extra mile together for our student body who, in return, are warm, welcoming, and well-motivated. You will be joining a community where teachers can teach and our students are eminently teachable. This means you can impart your passion for Languages without having to constantly assert your authority. We don’t grade lessons, or prescribe how to teach, and we are informed by the new and emerging evidence around learning and teaching, rather than the latest fad or government whim. As a small school, we can be agile and innovative, as we look to respond to the changing educational landscape.
Our last Ofsted inspection was in July 2023 and the school was graded as ‘Good’. The statements below are taken from this report:
“Leaders have created a nurturing environment which supports pupils to learn and achieve well.”
“Pupils’ behaviour is calm and friendly and disruption to learning is rare.”
“Leaders have designed a broad and ambitious curriculum.”
“Pupils feel happy and safe at school.”
Commitment to safeguarding
Thomas Keble School are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all staff, Trustees, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment. Our aim is to ensure child protection concerns and referrals are handled sensitively, professionally and in ways that support specific needs of the individual child. Through providing a caring, safe and stimulating environment we aim to foster an atmosphere of trust, respect and security. Our staff form a part of a wider safeguarding system for children and will work together with children’s services, the police, health services and other agencies.
