About Us
We are a Multi Academy Trust comprising of six secondary schools and one primary school with over 750 employees and over 5,500 students. The Trust headquarters are based in Dudley, our schools are located across the wider West Midlands, including areas such as South Staffordshire and Stourbridge.
Wombourne High School is a thriving, inclusive school with a strong commitment to supporting all students in achieving their full potential.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Head of MFL to join our school in January 2026. We are looking to appoint a talented professional with very good subject knowledge and a clear understanding of effective and engaging teaching and learning to lead our capable and supportive department. At Wombourne High School we highly value personal attributes of hard work, positivity and kindness, and we are looking for staff who can model these values.
The successful candidate should be an outstanding classroom practitioner who can build on current developments within the school and Trust, to continue to improve outcomes and raise aspirations for all students. Currently, all students study either French or Spanish at KS3. At KS4 we offer GCSE courses in both French and Spanish. MFL is a popular subject, and uptake at GCSE is strong. The department is well resourced. The ability to teach both languages to GCSE level would be advantageous but is not compulsory.

At Wombourne High School we aim for excellence in all things, and our vision is to develop students who are confident, independent and resilient citizens with unlimited aspirations, who leave our school equipped to be successful in any pathway they choose. Our ethos is driven by our three core values, hard work, positivity and kindness, and is ambitious for our students. We ask students to aspire to be the very best versions of themselves through outstanding effort and commitment, every day.
We are proud of our students and visitors to the school frequently comment on their confident, friendly approach and their enjoyment of learning. Our academic standards are high, and we recognise the importance of good examination results for students' future success, along with the development of their 'character'.
We strongly believe that an outstanding education is not solely qualification orientated and therefore we seek to develop students into kind, compassionate, well rounded young people. Wombourne High School provides a supportive and happy learning environment where students are at the centre of everything that we do.
As a founder member of the Invictus Education Multi-Academy Trust, Wombourne High School is part of a carefully planned collaboration between six self-selecting, highly successful schools. Within the Trust each school retains its own separate identity, but all members are totally committed to working together to ensure that each of our students receives the best possible education. Through combining our efforts, we have extended and enriched the opportunities available in order to give our students access to the best possible outcomes in terms of both examination results and wider educational experiences.
