Teacher of Spanish and Pastoral worker

Forest Fields are recruiting a Teacher of Spanish who must have experience of teaching pupils in Key Stage 1 and 2 and have a deep love of teaching languages and culture, and in our setting that is Spanish. We have an exciting opportunity for a new, inspirational, forward-thinking Teacher of Spanish who has a bright and positive outlook. You will work closely with the school's experienced Language Lead and our staff teams across Key Stage 1 and 2, to continue to support the school and pupils in going from strength to strength with Spanish.

We place great emphasis on providing excellent Spanish provision so we are looking for a passionate teacher to teach the Spanish language and culture, and take Spanish to the next level by being creative with the Language Angels scheme we currently use. We expect you to plan to go beyond the scheme by providing enrichment opportunities so the Spanish culture can be understood and celebrated.

We also expect you to be creative in teaching Spanish, using the Language Angels scheme as a springboard for deeper learning of the language, moving away from videos and bringing the language to life in our school community- the wealth of your creativity and imagination is key! We are looking for an outstanding teacher, who is energetic, has an ability to inspire pupils and their parents, and has a passion for providing pupils with the best possible education.

"They were very complimentary regarding your school and how helpful your staff were in terms of sharing your wealth of experience (and resources) when supporting children learning English as an additional language and celebrating diversity."

Are you experienced in teaching Spanish, able to share your knowledge and enthuse children about Spanish culture and have experience of teaching pupils a language in Key Stage 1 & 2? Look no further as this could be your next challenge at Forest Fields Primary School.

We are looking to appoint a Pastoral Support Worker, Band D, to join our hard working and friendly team. It is an important pupil-focused role providing outstanding pastoral care, assist in raising aspirations and support for our pupils across school, so they can access the curriculum, take part in learning and achieve well by overcoming barriers to learning both within and outside school.

You will be able to pastorally support pupils with Behaviour and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, which may also include conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and other associated learning difficulties. We would like you to work with our pupils and families to achieve the very best academically and personally. We would like you to be able to work within our school community and build positive relationships with our pupils, families and wider networks, supporting our pupils to come to school and access the wonderful curriculum we have in place, with all the exciting opportunities we provide in addition, to enhance learning.
