Overview
Teacher of Spanish – 0.6 FTE, Permanent
Learning Community Trust - Hadley Learning Secondary, Hadley Learning Community
We are a school that proudly serves and sits at the heart of the local community of Hadley in Telford. Our vision is that every child belongs to our school and community, respecting others and importantly themselves. We believe that their hard work and dedication inspires others and brings success in all their endeavours. Furthermore, we strive to ensure every child enjoys their learning, friendships and opportunities at Hadley Learning Community.
Our recent Ofsted report in June 2022 celebrated our “high expectations for pupils’ behaviour” within “a highly ambitious and inclusive curriculum”. They reached the conclusion that “the school could be judged outstanding if we were to carry out a section 5 inspection now”.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated professional to join our Modern Foreign Languages faculty at an exciting time in the school’s and department’s journey. We provide bespoke professional development for our already exceptional teachers as we firmly believe, as Dylan Wiliam states, “Every teacher needs to improve, not because they are not good enough, but because they can be even better”. We are looking for an enthusiastic, inspiring and excellent practitioner to join us as soon as possible.
