Teacher of French

The Perse is one of the country’s leading co-educational independent day schools, providing a high-quality education to pupils aged 3-18 in Cambridge.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a high achieving graduate, starting September 2024, to join our MFL department as a Teacher of French. Our team strives to ensure our students meet their potential and develop the skills, cultural understanding and passion needed to excel internationally in their chosen field as considerate global citizens. 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. Whether teaching year 7 beginners or an Upper Sixth A Level group, we aim to bring enjoyment to language learning whilst stretching the pupils to inspire a global outlook and a passion for foreign language and culture.

While a PGCE is desirable, it is not essential - The Perse has a long record of training and developing teachers in situ.
