If you want to work in a school that values the teaching of Modern Foreign Languages, as well as looking after their staff, come and look at Davenant. We seek a dynamic teacher to work in the M.F.L. Department in this high-achieving school. This is a maternity cover for one year. The ability to teach to GCSE and A Level in French or Spanish is required.  The ability to also teach French or Spanish up to Key Stage 3 or GCSE level is preferable. Excellent opportunities for personal development exist as part of our CPD and training programme as well as mentoring within our ITT consortium.

Davenant is a Christian Ecumenical school that was founded in 1680. It achieves outstanding examination results, has a strong focus on extra-curricular provision and seeks to nurture “mind, body and spirit”.  We are a supportive school with a staff welfare programme that reflects our care.

Davenant is recognised as a “good school, with an outstanding Sixth Form” by Ofsted.  Academic standards are high (88% Grades 9-4 – one of the highest achieving schools in Essex). Many of our students move on to take degrees at university (including Cambridge and Oxford).

We are situated close to the M25 and can easily be reached either from London or from the Essex/Herts countryside.

Davenant is committed to safeguarding and protecting the children and young people that we work with.  As such, all posts are subject to a safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks.  We ensure that we have a range of policies and procedures in place, which promote safeguarding and safer working practice across the school.

A letter of application, along with an application form, must be submitted to the Headteacher’s P.A., Marylyn Greengrass: Marylyn.greengrass@davenant.org by the closing date: Monday 25 November.
