The Department The French Department at Hurst is located in a modern purpose-built classroom block. It is a well-staffed department including a foreign language assistant, who provides speaking sessions to V, LVI and UVI students. French is a popular subject at GCSE with a number of pupils choosing to continue to study it at A Level. We follow the Edexcel iGCSE and have achieved an average of 75% 7-9 grades at GCSE in recent years. In the Prep School the vast majority of pupils study both French and Spanish and in the Senior School all students have the choice of studying one or two languages from a choice of French and Spanish. Our main aim is to ensure that pupils can understand spoken and written language and express themselves confidently, both orally and in writing. Focus is on both form and fluency to ensure students understand meaning, can communicate meaning and understand the grammatical systems of the French language. Much of the teaching is conducted in French, but English is sometimes used for the explanation of grammar points and for clarification. In addition to traditional textbooks, we make considerable use of interactive online audio and video resources (including ), along with authentic materials from other sources, particularly at A-level. For our schemes of work at KS3 and into KS4 in the Senior School we use Gianfranco Conti's MARSEARS pedagogical approach to language learning and there is opportunity for internal and external CPD on this method of teaching. The department aims to provide annual trips (for Y10-Y13) to promote and consolidate language learning and foster a love of French culture and history. We also aim to broaden their knowledge of literary and political culture with activities such as film modules in Y9 and Y11, Sixth form film nights, food festivals, podcasts, Y13 celebratory French restaurant trips and the study of seminal French texts and films. The Department aims to engender an enthusiasm for languages that will encourage pupils to achieve the highest levels of academic success, as well as giving them important transferable skills. Working at Hurst Hurst is one of Sussex's leading independent schools, offering a vibrant and supportive environment for both pupils and staff. With almost 1,400 pupils across our Senior and Prep Schools, we combine academic excellence with a strong sense of community. As a member of our team, you'll enjoy working in a stunning countryside setting while remaining well-connected. We're just 20 minutes from the city and beaches of Brighton & Hove, and London is under an hour away by train. Free on-site parking is available to all staff. We also offer a vast range of staff benefits, free meals during term time, use of our exceptional sports facilities, access to wellbeing initiatives, and extensive opportunities for professional development. The Role As Head of French, you will: Provide academic leadership, direction and support to the French team. Maintain and elevate the highest standards of teaching and learning across the subject. Lead curriculum development to ensure ambitious, engaging and culturally rich schemes of work. Mentor and support colleagues, fostering a collaborative and aspirational departmental culture. Manage a team of teaching and support staff to ensure excellent outcomes for students. Work closely with the Faculty Leader and senior leadership team to implement strategies that challenge, inspire and stretch learners. Contribute fully to the wider life of the College, including co curricular activities, trips and enrichment opportunities. For a talented and ambitious candidate, the opportunity to lead the wider Modern Foreign Languages department may also be a possibility. Who We're Looking For We are seeking an inspiring, innovative and strategic leader who places the development of young people at the forefront of all decisions. You will: Have substantial experience teaching French up to A level, with a strong record of excellent student outcomes. Hold a degree in French or a closely related discipline. Bring outstanding leadership, communication and organisational skills. Demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence, continuous improvement and high-quality language pedagogy. Have experience in curriculum design, assessment, and integrating authentic francophone culture into teaching.

We are committed to proactively addressing the barriers experienced by some groups in our community and are proud to hold Athena SWAN, Race Equality Charter and Disability Confident accreditations. We have an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Centre that focuses on continuously improving the University as a fair and inclusive place to work where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
