The post offers an exciting opportunity to teach French and Spanish and make a positive difference in our good school. The position would suit both experienced teachers looking to develop their career and early career teachers wishing to start their career in a growing school and multi-academy trust. At Moorlands Learning Trust (MLT) we are aspirational for every student within our Trust and are committed to achieving success for all and inspiring others to do so too. We believe in investing in the professional and career development of our staff to keep ourselves at the cutting edge of educational developments, where staff wellbeing is also a key priority for us and our schools. We very much welcome your interest and hope the accompanying information will encourage you to apply.
The successful candidate will join an increasingly popular and ambitious curriculum area where standards are high and levels of student engagement are positive. They will have high expectations, expert subject knowledge, a strong and positive work ethic and an unwavering commitment to all students achieving their full potential in a modern foreign language. Working collaboratively as part of a small but dedicated and talented team, they will be inspirational to both students and colleagues, and will be committed to sharing best practice and contributing to enrichment, intervention, and the development of the department. The role is required from September 2025.
This is an exciting time in the school’s development. In January 2023, The Skipton Academy (TSA) was graded by Ofsted as a “Good” school, the first time in its history. It is pleasing that Ofsted have recognised the hard work of all staff, pupils and their families for making our school such a wonderful place to come and learn. The number of families choosing to send their children show that the improvements have lasted, and the school is continuing to build a legacy for the young people and families in Skipton.
We deeply care for our staff as well as our students and take their wellbeing seriously, engaging regularly and meaningfully with colleagues at all levels. We are sensitive about the importance of managing workload, and the school’s commitment to evidence-informed practices and ‘best bets’ enables teachers and leaders to invest time and effort in practices proven to have the most impact on student learning. In addition, all staff have access to an Employee Assistance Programme. We can guarantee high-quality support in the role, committed and effective colleagues, well-motivated and aspirational students, opportunities for partnership working and a very supportive community. In return, we will expect a positive and enthusiastic approach, emotionally intelligent leadership, and a passion for working with young people to make a positive difference to their lives. If you are inspired by this opportunity and have the qualities to contribute to our high-quality provision, then we would be delighted to hear from you.
