Arnold House was founded in 1905 in St John's Wood. It is an independent preparatory school located in London, NW8, for boys from 3 to 13, and a member of IAPS (Independent Association of Prep Schools). In our recent EQI ISI inspection it was reported that pupils' academic achievement and personal development are both excellent.

The MFL Department at Arnold House consists of a team of two, with both teachers currently focusing on French. Boys have the opportunity to learn a variety of foreign languages in the Pre-Prep on a carousel basis, with formal French lessons beginning in Year 1. The aims are to foster an enjoyment in learning a foreign language and for boys to see the relevance of this in the world today. We focus on teaching good language learning skills and allowing boys to see that key concepts are transferable to other languages. We ensure that the language is learnt through a wide variety of media and incorporating the most up to date authentic cultural resources wherever it is appropriate and easily accessible. At the start of Year 8 boys go on an immersive trip to Burgundy for a week, where they speak French and are introduced to French culture.

Summary of the Role

As Head of MFL, you will be responsible for the leadership and management of the MFL department, ensuring the delivery of high standards of teaching and learning that will inspire a love of languages in the boys.
