It is an exciting time for Kingswood Secondary Academy. We are privileged to serve one of the most deprived communities in Northamptonshire, yet our fantastic students are now in the top third of Northamptonshire schools in terms of their academic outcomes. Contextually, this places our students in the top five secondary schools, out of 42, in the county. If you’d like to find out more about how we and our students work together to achieve this, and if you are a hardworking individual who enjoys being part of a team, then see the details below about coming in for a ‘Walk and Talk’.
The role
We are looking for an energetic and hardworking Teacher of Spanish to start in September 2026. Our ideal candidate will have a passionate and uncompromising commitment to pupil achievement and be a believer in the potential of all young people.
The entire Humanities/MFL team are committed to the pursuit of excellence and are team players with a strong desire to work collaboratively. The faculty comprises 12 members of teaching staff, from members of the SLT to colleagues who are in the early stages of their careers. Students follow a broad curriculum at KS3, which covers the family, pastimes, healthy living and lifestyles. At KS4, we teach Edexcel, which builds on KS3 and includes towns, the environment and social and global issues. We pride ourselves on the excellent support we give to not only our students but each other, too. Outcomes in Humanities/MFL are very strong and improving further.
