We are looking to appoint an exceptional and inspirational teacher of Modern Foreign Languages (Spanish) to join our MFL department. This is a very rare and exciting opportunity to join our school and to support the vision for excellence being developed by our Head of MFL and the wider languages team.

The Twynham School and The Grange School federation (known as ‘Twynham TGS’) is now firmly established in Christchurch and there really is unlimited potential for our organisation to deliver a truly exceptional vision for young people across the town. The Grange School featured in the top 25 most improved schools in the country last academic year. The opportunity to be part of the team which works across two schools and two different contexts offer unrivalled career development for an aspirational colleague.

This is a truly exceptional opportunity for a talented and ambitious colleague.
