The Governors of  Cartmel Priory School are looking to appoint a teacher of German within our Ebacc Faculty (history, geography and German) due to the retirement of the current postholder after many years of committed service to the school. This is a 0.4 FTE substantive post, but we are looking for someone who is willing to be flexible to adapt to variations in curriculum hours as they present themselves in a small school.

The Ebacc faculty currently consists of a full-time faculty leader, a part time geography specialist teacher, a part time history specialist teacher and a part time German specialist teacher (this post).

German uses an in-house curriculum at Key Stage 3 and follows the AQA specification at Key Stage 4. All classes are taught in mixed ability groupings.

This is a key appointment for our school and the successful candidate will be expected to become an integral member of the staff team and will be expected to demonstrate full commitment to the students, school and its community.

You will need to be able to support and promote the Christian values embedded in school life and to support the wider ethos of the school.

Cartmel Priory CE School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to a satisfactory DBS check.
