Full Time (Part time applicants also considered)
Are you somebody who believes that all learners can be successful; aspires to put the needs of learners at the heart of everything that you do; and sees yourself as a learner?
We are seeking an engaging and reflective Teacher of Languages, who has the ambition and aptitude to develop young people into linguists. You will be a Spanish or French specialist willing to teach up to A Level, with appropriate support for those early in their career. You will also be able to offer your second language up to KS4.
The role will offer you the opportunity to develop your teaching skills within a highly cohesive and innovative team in this ambitious school. Professional learning is a very high priority and we will be committed to your further development. The Languages team is highly collaborative and has skill, experience and commitment. Our pupils are engaging and positive, and they enjoy learning languages, with good uptake at GCSE. The post is suitable for teachers due to qualify in June 2023 or more experienced staff.
We are renowned for placing a high value on staff wellbeing and professional development at all levels.
Situated just east of Oxford in a unique parkland site, Wheatley Park School is a flourishing 11- 18 academy with a vibrant comprehensive intake.
Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.
OUR VISION is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better faster together.
OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.
OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles.
Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff.
