In our Spanish department, every person’s opinion counts and is valued. Student voice is encouraged and listened to which improves and shapes our teaching and learning. Departmentally our staff have a passion to provide students with a desire to want to learn more, and build an enthusiasm for learning not only the Spanish language but also an understanding of the cultures and customs associated with life in the Spanish speaking world. KS3 Spanish equips students with the skills and vocabulary to be able to confidently communicate, asking and answering questions whilst engaging in extended conversations. Students build up these skills through the use of sentence builders and topic specific workbooks, following the EPI method of teaching. KS4 builds on the foundation knowledge gained at KS3 following the Edexcel specification. It develops and strengthens students communication skills through more advanced and authentic resources, whilst encouraging the use of more complex vocabulary and structures. We have an ever-changing, fully resourced SOW within the department which is easily adaptable to meet the needs of all students, we constantly strive to provide the very best educational experiences that will ensure every student’s success, whatever their individual educational needs. We also aim to provide extracurricular opportunities for all with our whole school European day of languages celebrations, links to exchange students from the local international language school and an annual trip to Spain.
&nbsp;4 essential skills that you will need if you are a successful applicant and that we will look for in your application and interview are:
<ul>
<li>We want our teachers to challenge our students in lessons so that they make progress beyond their targets and aspire to achieve new, and possibly unexpected, levels of potential.</li>
<li>Our students need to be interactive learners, given responsibility for their own learning progress and self-assessment. Can you motivate them to achieve this?</li>
<li>We have a rich and varied community of learners with specialist bases for aspergers’ students and dyslexic students. Can you plan lessons and offer pastoral care that allow all students to achieve?</li>
<li>Our students will interview successful applicants and watch them teach. They tell us that they like caring, friendly, fun teachers who are firm but fair, who make their lessons interactive and exciting, who will help them if needed with oral and written feedback BUT most of all they like people who seem genuinely interested in them and their school! Could that be you?</li>
</ul>
5 vital pieces of information about the Spanish department that the staff would like you to know: 
<ul>
<li>You will be expected to teach Spanish in both key stages. We begin our GCSE courses in Year 10. We expect you to be familiar with and be aware of the most recent subject developments and innovative teaching. You will have the highest expectations of our students and your teaching will support student progression to sustain and improve our current results.</li>
