Head of German - Liverpool, United Kingdom - St Hilda's Church of England High School

Description

Head of German

The Governors of St Hilda's wish to appoint a Head of German. The successful candidates would become part of an enthusiastic and hard-working team. Our school is one of 12 PASCH schools in the UK. Last year we were fortunate to host the German Eurovision band, Lord of the Lost, who praised our students for being 'open-minded, respectful and polite' saying they'll become 'great role models to other people.' The successful candidate will have a valuable opportunity to develop our status as a PASCH school and a cultural hub for German in our city.

St Hilda's, which is situated on the edge of Sefton Park in South Liverpool, is a welcoming and supportive community. We have high expectations of behaviour and there are excellent relationships between staff and students, based on mutual respect. St Hilda's is a high-performing, over-subscribed comprehensive school with a Sixth Form.

In 2021, Ofsted judged the school to be Good. In 2023 SIAMS Keeping On Track (church schools' inspection) report highlighted 'The empowering and reflective Christian leadership of the Headteacher inspires and drives improvement and ensures that the school's Christian distinctiveness and purpose are of the highest priority. She is strongly supported by the leaders of the Cornerstone Curriculum, the heart of the community's Christian ethos and purpose. The Staff's commitment to the shared vision and virtues ensures that they are effective role models and are helping to provide an environment in which all have the opportunity to flourish.' We are unashamedly a Christian school.

As the successful candidate, you would be joining a very close-knit, highly supportive family. We have made some significant changes; becoming co-educational, changing our vision and values, but we know that we can improve further with the right people
