Languages Teacher and Coordinator

Alleyn’s Junior School is seeking a Languages Teacher and Coordinator to join our community from September 2026. This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who enjoys variety, thrives on working with different age groups, and is energised by contributing to a supportive, well‑resourced school environment.

The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic classroom practitioner who can inspire children to love learning languages through their teaching of French and Spanish. Currently, Spanish is taught in our Infant years of Reception to Year 2 and then French in Years 3 to 5 with Mandarin taught in Year 6 by another teacher. The Languages Assistant, who works two days per week and is line managed by the Languages Coordinator, supports the teaching of French and Spanish.

Infant children receive 40 minutes of Languages per week while the Juniors receive 80 minutes. All the lessons are taught in the pupils’ form rooms. In the summer term the Year 3 children perform a short play at Founder’s Day arranged by the Languages Coordinator and the Coordinator will also lead a Language Assembly each term and work with the senior school’s Director of MFL to organise bilingual meet‑ups across the two schools, including the very popular Languages Fair.
