French, Spanish and German. Our newly appointed Foreign Language Assistant will be required to work with individuals and small groups of GCSE students, ensuring that they are exposed to a high-quality of spoken and written language.

Foreign Language Assistants play a crucial role in promoting and supporting the creation of an environment that enriches and enlivens the students’ language studies by engaging each student in spoken and occasional written activities.
