Teacher of Spanish
The Spanish Teacher role is an exciting addition to the Gloucester academy team. Our MFL department nurtures a love for languages for our students by focusing on Hispanic culture and a Conti EPI instruction method that promotes the use of the target language and successful production through chunking. The team has a positive outreach with the community with weekly support from local native speakers delivering conversation sessions to KS4 as well as strong connections with other MFL teams to collaborate on visits and events. We focus on building confidence and are passionate about empowering our pupils to use their language to communicate and connect with the wider world. We enrich the lives of our pupils through challenge, extracurricular activities, and a well-planned curriculum carefully interwoven to encourage retrieval, progress, and success. We teach Spanish to all year groups, giving each year group 5 hours per fortnight of curriculum time, with Year 11 receiving an extra hour a fortnight from 3.00 – 4.00pm on either a Monday or Friday. KS4 study Edexcel Spanish. We run community languages and currently have 12 different languages taking their GCSEs in Year 10 with the support of the local community and members of staff in the school. As a school, we are open to discussing introducing another language for our students.
