The opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated Teacher of French to join our dynamic and popular Modern Languages Department covering a period of maternity leave.
Pupils’ enthusiasm for the study of Modern Languages is encouraged by imaginative, varied and challenging courses at all levels of the School, up to and including Oxbridge preparation.
The ethos of the Department revolves very much around spoken confidence and fluency, but this is always underpinned by promoting a robust understanding of grammar.
Classes are generally in the target language where appropriate, with plenty of emphasis, particularly in junior classes, on role play and debating skills.
Hampton is one of the country’s foremost independent schools where equity, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to our ethos and the School has a thriving partnerships programme.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach up to 30 (40 minute) lessons per week, which would usually include a games afternoon and a form tutor period.
The role involves planning appropriate lessons and dealing with marking and reporting.
The Modern Languages Department offers a wide variety of trips and exchanges across all age ranges – a total of 12 visits abroad annually which are strongly supported by all the languages staff, and sometimes run jointly with Lady Eleanor Holles School, a well‑known independent girls’ school next to Hampton.
The visits abroad are conducted exclusively on an opt‑in basis during the school holidays, with exchange schools visiting us during term‑time.
Details of all Modern Languages trips are posted on the School website.
Regular theatre, cinema and gallery visits are also organised.
Fifth and Sixth Form linguists are also addressed periodically by visiting speakers.
A contribution to the wider life of the School is also expected from staff at Hampton and the successful candidate will be welcome to take part in the wide range of co‑curricular School activities - Sport, Music, Drama, the Adventure Society and many more.
