Head of Department for Modern Foreign Languages

We are looking for a dynamic, passionate teacher to lead our Languages department at Moseley School and Sixth Form.

As part of the Humanities faculty, the languages team offers a global perspective and widens horizons.

Core Purpose:

• To ensure that students at Moseley make maximum progress and achieve their full potential in MFL, while developing a real passion for language learning.
• Professional leadership and management of the MFL department, to secure high-quality teaching and effective use of resources and further raising standards and outcomes for all students.
• Ensure that all students make positive progress against prior attainment, by ensuring teaching is consistently high quality, progress is monitored, and appropriate measures are taken to address any underachievement.

If you are successful in securing this exciting opportunity, you will benefit from:

• A team of 5 highly skilled MFL specialists, who are dedicated teachers, and all share a passion for languages!
• Modern Foreign Languages are highly valued at the school. We teach French, Spanish and Urdu across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. On entry to the school in Year 7 our pupils choose their preferred language to study throughout Key Stage 3.
• All three languages are optional subjects at Key Stage 4 and Moseley School also offers A-levels in French, Spanish and Urdu.
• Many of our young people have the ability to speak a home language and they are highly encouraged to take the GCSE in that language if it is available. In recent years we have entered students for GCSE and GCE A levels in German, Polish, Portuguese, Bengali, Greek, Chinese, Italian, and our students of Arabic always perform amazingly well.
• Our MFL classrooms are well-equipped, positive, and welcoming environments in which we enable students to get the most out of their learning.
• A school ethos that places great value on cultural awareness and appreciation. This is reflected in our MFL lesson content, which promotes knowledge of customs, festivals and traditions in French, Spanish and Urdu speaking countries.
• We are committed to offering a range of experiences that help bring our languages to life and an intention to widen the offer further, with trips abroad.
