Part-time Teacher of French or Spanish (0.4) - temporary until August 2027 in the first instance
We are looking to recruit a Teacher of French or Spanish (where both would be an advantage) to work two days per week, to join us from August 2026 (or 29th June 2026 for an available ECT year 1 candidate) for one year in the first instance.
Beaumont Leys School is a highly successful 11-16 school. We were delighted to win the ‘School of the Year Award’ 2025 in the National Schools Awards. We are very proud of the progress our students make, and the destinations that our students go on to; many of our students have challenging backgrounds and low prior attainment on intake and so we are the beacon of hope for their futures. We believe that a high quality education leads not only to transformative exam results for students, but also in great character development. We want students to feel that they belong in our school and develop their sense of self-worth alongside an understanding of the positive impact they can have on those around them.
Together We Achieve Success is our motto and the driving force for our school. Our students thrive because our staff are dedicated to students’ success; to building positive relationships; and to collaborating and working as a team within a supportive environment. We are a school with a heart and soul, and we believe our job is to give our students the best possible chances in life, creating some fantastic lifelong memories along the way.
Our MFL Department is a very successful, dynamic and inspiring department whose students have a good history of GCSE results. French and Spanish at GCSE are increasingly popular. The faculty utilises a creative curriculum augmented with cultural trips and visits to grow our students’ love of languages.
We work hard to recruit the best and then we support them to be even better. Our internal promotion record is impressive, even our Headteacher started with us as a newly qualified teacher. We engage extensively with local ITT providers, including Teach First and Researchers into School, and provide an excellent ECF support programme and a strong and well-evaluated programme of professional learning. Our teachers are always learners and as such role model everything we want for our students. Therefore, if you want a forward thinking, dynamic school to take your career to the next level, we would welcome your application.
We are committed to keeping children and young people safe from harm and abuse and to promoting their welfare, and we expect that everyone who comes to work for us will share the same commitment.
All roles within the school are covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, and are subject to an enhanced DBS check.
