About the Languages Faculty
At St John Fisher Catholic College, we believe languages open doors to new opportunities, cultures, and careers. Our curriculum is designed to be engaging, rigorous, and inspiring, ensuring all learners develop strong communication skills and a global outlook.
* KS3: Learners build a strong foundation in French through interactive lessons that focus on vocabulary, grammar, and cultural understanding.
* GCSE: Following the AQA specification, learners deepen their proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
* EAL Provision: A structured and supportive approach ensures that EAL learners receive the guidance they need to thrive in all subjects.
What Can You Offer Us?
1. A passion for languages and a commitment to high-quality language education.
2. The ability to motivate and inspire learners to embrace language learning with confidence and enthusiasm.
3. A vision for developing the faculty, ensuring that all learners, including EAL students, achieve their full potential.
4. A team-player mindset, ready to support and develop colleagues while sharing best practices.
5. The ability to bring languages to life through creative teaching methods, cultural immersion, and enrichment opportunities.
6. A sense of humour (essential when answering learners’ questions about why the French word for ‘potato’ translates to ‘apple of the earth’!).
If you are an ambitious, dedicated, and forward-thinking leader who is ready to take the next step in your career, we would love to hear from you!
Join us at St John Fisher Catholic College and help shape the next generation of linguists and global citizens!
