Job Information

We are currently seeking an inspirational and motivational Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages, to teach French ideally with an ability to teach Spanish, with the drive, commitment and creativity to support us in providing the best possible opportunities for our pupils. ECT welcomed.

We are seeking a colleague who:

  • is an excellent and innovative practitioner
  • is ambitious for our pupils and determined that they should reach their full potential
  • is passionate about their subject.

Hall Green School is a very popular, heavily oversubscribed and academically successful 11-16 Converter Academy. We are a highly diverse institution, both ethnically and as a fully accessible mainstream school, attracting pupils from across the city with physical disabilities. We have wonderful pupils who fully contribute to the school’s ‘caring, nurturing and inclusive culture’ described by Ofsted (2019) as ‘a welcoming and inclusive school’ where ‘pupils are happy, and they achieve well’ and the ‘positive relationships between pupils and staff are a hallmark of the school’.

Most importantly, we are looking for a candidate who shares the school’s approach and commitment to the success and wellbeing of its young people. You are warmly invited to speak to the Headteacher and to make an appointment to visit the school in action.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020). This means that certain convictions and cautions are considered 'protected' and do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-guidance-on-the-rehabilitation-of-offenders-act-1974.

I strongly recommend you visit the school to meet us and find out more about the role. Please contact my PA, Mrs Paula Elliott, to arrange a convenient time.
