Thank you for taking the time to consider this exciting opportunity to join the Modern Foreign Languages Faculty here at Falinge Park High School.
Falinge Park is a truly special place to work. A school where relationships matter, and leaders are trusted to make a real difference and given the autonomy to shape the future of the MFL faculty. You will benefit from the support of an experienced and approachable senior leadership team; genuinely invested in your success and professional growth.
Our MFL faculty is a dedicated and collaborative team of five language specialists, supported by a highly experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA). We work closely together, sharing resources and planning as a team to deliver high-quality, engaging lessons that inspire a love of languages. We are well resourced, with dedicated MFL classrooms and access to interactive technologies. Our use of Active Learn allows pupils to consolidate their learning independently beyond the classroom.
Beyond the classroom, we are passionate about providing pupils with real world experiences of language and culture. We offer regular trips and visits, including to Cervantes Institute and Alliance Françoise which provide authentic opportunities for our students to develop their language skills and cultural understanding. We also run popular trips abroad, including visits to France and Spain, giving pupils the chance to immerse themselves in the language and experience different cultures first hand. These opportunities are valued highly by our pupils and their families, and we are always looking for ways to build on and expand our enrichment offer.
Academically, our MFL outcomes are amongst the strongest in the school. And we are proud of the high standards we have established. That said, we are ambitious and always striving to go further, which makes this a fantastic time for a new leader to build on our success and lead the faculty into its next exciting chapter. All pupils begin their language journey in Year 7, in one of three languages: French, Spanish, or Urdu. They continue to study this language throughout Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, with the vast majority progressing to GCSE. This structure ensures depth, continuity, and consistency in learning, and we are proud that our GCSE numbers are increasing year on year. In addition, we support many pupils in achieving GCSEs in community languages which reflects and celebrates the diversity amongst our school community.
Whether you are an aspiring or experienced middle leader and are passionate about leading a high performing faculty, we would love to hear from you!
We would strongly encourage you to visit Falinge Park and see first-hand the warmth, ambition and energy that defines our school. Please email and we can arrange for you to visit at a time suitable for you.
