Role Summary
Hampton is one of the country’s foremost academically selective independent schools and this is an excellent opportunity to join a vibrant and successful department in a happy, high-achieving setting.

The Role
Spanish is taught both as a core subject and as an option from First to Fifth Year (Years 7 – 11).

Pupils’ enthusiasm for the study of Spanish is encouraged by imaginative, varied and challenging courses at all levels of the School, up to and including Oxbridge preparation.

Since September 2013, all pupils studying Spanish work towards the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) IGCSE. Sixth Formers work towards the AQA AS and A2 examinations and have been following the new AQA AS/A2 syllabuses from September 2016.

Our current Spanish textbooks are Zoom 1 and 2 (First to Third Years), Cambridge IGCSE: Spanish Foreign Language (Fourth and Fifth Years) and AQA textbook (to A/AS level).

As a Language Assistant you will work with individuals and small groups for Spanish conversation and the preparation of oral topics. In addition, you shall help run language clubs, prepare pupils for language competitions and assist with speaking assessment.
