Salary MPR / UPR, (£31,650 to £49,084) with an additional TLR2B payment of £5,640 per annum.

The Laurel Academy is looking to appoint a Head of Department for MFL to join our academy in September 2025, on a full time, permanent basis.

OUR VISION

At Delta Academies Trust we understand the importance of learning a modern foreign language and we believe that every single one of our pupils should have that opportunity. We have invested significant time, expertise, and money in the creation of an outstanding curriculum offer which has increased pupil engagement.

OUR CURRICULUM

We have created carefully sequenced five-year curriculum plans for both French and Spanish using the national curriculum and the key recommendations of the 2016 MFL Pedagogy Review. Each one is fully resourced, with detailed lessons prepared for you to adapt to the needs of your classes. We use an online coursebook to underpin our teaching. Every unit of work includes a cultural topic to help instil a love of languages. We subscribe to an online learning platform to support the learning of vocabulary. We currently have 17 native speakers in our academies and our pupils love working with them!

HOW WILL WE SUPPORT YOU?

Our Senior MFL director is a specialist in both French and Spanish and leads a team of two MFL directors and a lead teacher. They are all based in our academies working to support teachers and pupils on a daily basis. We recognise the value of high quality CPD and the director team run subject specific CPD every half term, meaning that staff from across our trust can meet to share best practice.
