At Outwood Academy Hindley, all pupils learn French and Spanish in year 7 through a carefully designed dual language programme, which pupils enjoy. At the end of year 7 they can either opt to continue with both languages, or specialise in one until the end of year 9. Pupils achieve well in both languages at GCSE, and the number who opt to continue with a language in years 10 and 11 is good. The department works collaboratively with regard to lesson planning and all aspects of teaching in order to ensure that every child achieves their potential. We offer a wide range of extra curricular activities including KS3 games club, MFL film club and KS4 revision. These clubs are well attended by pupils. We also ensure that other departments are involved with MFL through our European Week of Languages, which takes place every year in September and consists of a range of activities such as a bake off, quizzes, assemblies and competitions.

The successful candidate will be able to teach either French or Spanish to GCSE level and the other language to KS3, be passionate about all aspects of languages, a team player and willing to be fully involved in MFL activities beyond the classroom. A sense of humour is not essential, but is a bonus!
