Job overview
Highgate School is currently seeking an enthusiastic, well-qualified Spanish speaking assistant to join its popular and successful Modern Languages department. Applicants should be excellent linguists with a first-rate command of Spanish, either with a background in the language or high levels of proficiency acquired through suitable academic study. Candidates from Spanish-speaking backgrounds with qualifications in any suitable academic discipline are warmly encouraged to apply, regardless of their specialism.
The successful applicant will share our vision for education and, importantly, enjoy working with young people. Applicants should be passionate advocates for the study of Spanish and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to language learning generally. They will be able to articulate to pupils and their parents the value of learning their subject and are likely to be lively and imaginative teachers. They will work well under guidance from their Head of Department, certainly, but equally enjoy a degree of independence designing and leading sessions. They will set an inspiring personal example of scholarship and high standards of professionalism.

Academic excellence
Academic standards at Highgate remain high, as our most recent exam results demonstrate. In 2023 over 50% of all our GCSE entries were graded 9, and 78.9% were 9 or 8. Within our Sixth Form, in 2023, 46.5% of all our exam entries were awarded an A* at A level (or Pre-U equivalent) and 82.8% were A* or A. In 2023, 30 pupils matriculated at either Cambridge or Oxford colleges, whilst others took up places at prestigious Art, Architecture and Medical schools. Every year, the vast majority of our leavers enter Russell Group universities or other elite Higher Education establishments, including in the US and Canada.

Alongside their studies, Highgate pupils are offered a wide range of co-curricular activities which enhance both their childhood experience and their future aspirations. We are also exceptionally fortunate when it comes to sport with extensive facilities, excellent staff and a wide range of activities available.
At Highgate, we encourage social responsibility through our charity work, both locally and further afield. For example, we are the principal education sponsor for the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham and support Great Lakes High School in Uganda.
