Teacher of Languages

Help us build a global tapestry of talented women.

At St Mary's School in Cambridge, you can be YOU. That's equally true whether you study here or teach here. Because we're all about empowering people and celebrating their differences. We value our girls for their confidence and curiosity, their community spirit, their agile minds and their resilience and drive. We do whatever it takes to create an atmosphere where girls can thrive and feel fulfilled and enriched - all the way from age 3 to 18.

So, it's little wonder that we're an accredited World Class High Performing Learning School or that we were rated 'excellent' by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. As inspectors noted, we've achieved an outstanding 98% parental satisfaction rate and almost all our pupils attain places at the most selective universities, including those with the highest entry criteria.

Now you can join our unique community and become the teacher you've always wanted to be.

The study of Modern Languages, is popular at St Mary's School, Cambridge with a relatively large number of pupils opting to take at least one of the languages at GCSE. Over a third of all students opt for GCSE Spanish and more than half of these students go on to gain a Grade 8 or 9. The MFL department is proud of its results and consistently achieves a 100% pass rate of grades 9-4 at GCSE.

In order to continue to maintain the high standards of work being produced by all our students from Years 7 to 13, we are seeking a suitably qualified, dedicated and motivated teacher who is prepared to go the extra mile for our students. The successful candidate must be able to teach Spanish and one other language (German or French).

For a full-time candidate there is an expectation of teaching Languages in Key Stage 4 or above. There is also an opportunity to teach French in Reception to Year 6 at the Junior School, for the appropriate candidate.

Furthermore, the successful candidate will be expected to take part in the program of overseas study visits.

If you have a dynamic and innovative approach to the teaching of Spanish, then we look forward to hearing from you!

You'll find it an exceptionally enriching experience as you interact with students from 30 different countries, ranging from Albania to Zimbabwe. You'll be central to making them confident, well-adjusted, high-achieving young women with the skills and personalities to pursue careers in STEM, the arts, climate advocacy or whatever commands their passion. In short, you will help us build a global tapestry of talent: a microcosm of the world, rich with different languages, cultures and perspectives.

In return, you will enjoy an exceptional career and comprehensive benefits including a contributory pension scheme, 33% discount (pro rata for part-time staff) on school fees, BUPA cash plan, an occupational sickness scheme, free lunches and refreshments, a season ticket discount and much more.
