Job overview
Head of MFL Faculty
Start Date: September 2025
Contract Type: Full-time
Contract Term: Permanent
Salary: MPS/UPS + TLR 1b
This is a rare opportunity to lead a large and successful MFL faculty on to even greater things. We are looking for a Head of MFL confident enough to lead a faculty that already performs very well, and capable enough to make it one of the very best in the country.
Lymm High School is a well-established, 11-18 school with over 1950 students (400 in the 6th form) and exceptional resources, including 28 acres of beautiful grounds, a swimming pool, leisure complex and our own residential centre in Anglesey. We have a strong track record of excellent exam results, with a Progress 8 score of +0.71 last year and equally strong results at KS5. It is also a lovely place in which to work; in addition to good fortune with our physical surroundings, staff are exceptionally positive, committed and supportive.
Our languages faculty is amongst the strongest within the school, with a track record of consistently outstanding results, including a value added score of +0.80 in 2024. French, German and Spanish are popular subjects and are offered at both KS4 and KS5, with students also taking two languages in year 8 and 9. We also have an extensive and growing extra-curricular offer, including trips and visiting performances.
We believe that even though the faculty is in an excellent position, there is certainly scope for the right person to move the faculty on further over the next few years. If you are an experienced candidate with the right track record, we will ensure you have the opportunities to enable you to move into senior leadership rapidly. If you are a little less experienced but can demonstrate the talent and ambition we are looking for, then we will provide all the support you need to make your mark.

Values and vision
Lymm High School aims for its students to: be successful and achieve their full potential; enjoy learning and become independent lifelong learners; become socially responsible citizens and members of the community; and become confident and capable individuals.
In order to achieve these aims, the school has three simple, underlying priorities for action: an uncompromising focus on high academic standards and excellent teaching and learning; encouraging participation in a wide-ranging programme of extra-curricular activities and opportunities to develop leadership skill; and promoting the importance of being decent, socially responsible members of the community.
Ofsted report (February 2018)
“Pupils feel safe and secure in a school that is characterised by harmonious relationships. There are strong relationships between adults and pupils alike. Teachers have high hopes for pupils and expect the very best from them. This is a school where everyone is accepted for their individuality and uniqueness. It is a school that aims to ensure that inclusivity and scholastic ambition intertwine seamlessly.
Pupils are extremely positive about their learning experiences…. (they) also benefit from an extensive extra-curricular programme and strong spiritual, moral, social and cultural development (and) recognise that their teachers and other adults go ‘the extra mile’ for each of them. For these reasons, pupils reciprocate the care, guidance and support that they receive with extremely high standards of behaviour. They are an absolute credit to the school.”
