Outwood Academy Foxhills seeks applications from outstanding applicants with integrity, imagination and energy for this rewarding role. Outwood Academy Foxhills, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire is within easy reach of Lincoln, Grimsby and the east of Doncaster. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2022 the Academy was judged to be Outstanding in all areas.

The MFL department at Outwood Academy Foxhills is a small and friendly department with 4 members of staff; 2 part-time and an Assistant Principal. We offer French and Spanish at KS3 and KS4, with all teachers offering both languages to at least KS3. All Year 7 students study both languages and then pick one or both at the end of Year 7. We hope to grow a cohort of dual linguists to be future A Level and University language students - imagine! 

Each member of our department has their own room equipped with an interactive whiteboard and visualiser and we share an office with the Humanities department which provides a quiet working space. Members of the department are provided with SOLs and we share planning to support each other. We run enrichments at both KS3 and KS4 after school and have recently subscribed to Languagenut to extend our student's learning at home.  

The successful candidate will be able to teach French and Spanish at KS3 and at least one at GCSE level. They will be passionate about all aspects of languages, be a team player, and be able to support the development of students’ cultural capital. As such, candidates applying should hold a degree in Modern Foreign Languages or be able to evidence sufficient expertise in French or Spanish. Additionally, candidates should have achieved or be in the process of achieving a postgraduate teaching qualification. 

The successful applicant will work until approximately Christmas 2025 as a maternity cover at Outwood Academy Foxhills. Following that, we will work with the colleague to fix a permanent base; either at Foxhills or another Outwood school in Scunthorpe or the surrounding area.
