What can a Spanish teacher expect in Northampton?

Spanish has grown in Northampton's secondary schools and is now offered alongside French at many of them. Large all-through schools such as Northampton International Academy and Wootton Park School teach languages from primary age.

Northampton's growing international population means many students are already bilingual, which helps them pick up a new language. Spanish teachers who can stretch confident linguists and support beginners are in demand.

Spanish has grown quickly in English schools, and many departments now offer it alongside or instead of French. Spanish teachers who can also teach French are especially sought after.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and teach Spanish lessons across KS3 and KS4, and KS5 where relevant
• Teach phonics, vocabulary and grammar in line with the GCSE specification
• Develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills
• Prepare students for speaking assessments and written exams
• Use target language confidently in the classroom
• Support trips, exchanges and cultural activities where possible

Who we're looking for

• Qualified MFL teachers (QTS or QTLS) with fluent Spanish
• Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking for their first post or induction placement
• Experienced teachers returning to the profession or looking for flexible supply work
• Overseas-trained teachers with the right to work in the UK
• Native Spanish speakers with QTS
• MFL teachers who can also teach French
