Teacher of French

An exciting opportunity at the Perse has arisen for a Teacher of French to start in January 2027. We are looking to appoint a high achieving graduate to join a supportive, energetic and collegiate department.

The Perse Modern Foreign Languages department comprises a wonderful team of teachers across four main curriculum languages (French, Spanish, German, Mandarin), and two extracurricular languages (Italian and Japanese). Our team strives to ensure our students reach their potential and develop the skills and cultural understanding needed to excel nationally or internationally in their chosen field as considerate, outward-looking young people.

Being part of the MFL team is to be part of a wider vision to develop an intrinsic interest in language and culture, allowing a focus on the real purpose, benefit and enjoyment of language learning. All members of the MFL team have opportunities to collaborate and share good practice between languages, all the while contributing to the well-respected MFL profile within the school.

The ability to teach a second language to Key Stage 3 (or higher) would be advantageous but not essential.

Public exam results regularly place The Perse in the top 30 schools nationally and in a typical year over 30 pupils will receive Oxbridge offers. The Perse enjoys a prestigious reputation and values a mixed approach to teaching and learning. We aim to respect tradition and innovation, industry and fun, and academic and personal growth. All teachers and pupils are required to demonstrate all-round excellence and contribute to the academic, pastoral and extra-curricular life of the school.

At The Perse School, we value the well-being of all staff and offer a supportive environment that balances professional ambitions with personal growth, opportunity and work-life balance.

Closing date: Friday 19th June at 9.00am but applications will be considered as they are received; The Perse School reserves the right to make an appointment before the closing date.

Interviews will be held on Wednesday 24th June.

The School actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society.
