Teachers in the department have high expectations for all, but very much tailor their lessons to suit the needs of each pupil. Planning is overseen by the Curriculum Leader and discussed in weekly team meetings; input and ideas from the whole team is very much encouraged. Children are keen to perform orally in French and this often evident during school performances.The successful candidate will have proven experience in teaching French to a high standard.
