An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the team of Hereford Cathedral Junior School (ages 3 - 11), teaching largely in Key Stage Two, but also in Key Stage One, with responsibility for leading and developing this specialist subject area. The position will suit a fully qualified teacher who has a desire to work with pupils in their first steps at acquiring proficiency in a modern language.
Applications from both primary and secondary backgrounds will be considered, as we seek an applicant who demonstrates a love of language learning and is keen to contribute to this and other areas of our broad and rich curriculum for primary age children.
The candidate will be a form teacher, taking responsibility for a group of pupils. Whilst the timetable will likely be subject focused, as our pupils receive specialist provision, we expect our Junior School teachers to be flexible and able to teach across the age and subject range.
The School launched its digital strategy in September, with Year 6 bringing their own devices, whilst other year groups use our stand-alone facilities. It is expected that the successful candidate will be experienced in using technologies to enable children’s learning.
