Closing date: Midnight Sunday 12th October 2025

Interview date: Thursday 16th October 2025

This role is suitable for experienced teachers, ECTs and those currently training to teach. We offer salaries on the Inner London pay scale.

We are seeking an inspirational Spanish teacher to join our dynamic and successful department. Ealing Fields is an academically ambitious school with a strong sense of community. We have consistently ranked in the top 1% of schools nationally for student progress. Our students share our high aspirations, and behaviour across the school is exemplary. As part of the highly successful Twyford Trust, we also offer exciting opportunities for professional development and career progression.

Our department is committed to innovating, developing, and sharing best practice in language teaching to ensure that students of all backgrounds and abilities can succeed and enjoy learning Spanish. Teachers work collaboratively within the department and across the Trust, supported by a well-developed curriculum, high-quality lesson resources, and a robust assessment structure. These elements are designed to support teachers in delivering consistently outstanding lessons, while also providing space for them to develop their practice and innovate.

We pride ourselves on the supportive culture across the MFL department, the wider staff body, and the leadership team. Exceptional professional development is a key part of our offer, including weekly training sessions and one-to-one coaching. As a small secondary school, every student is well known to staff, which helps foster a close-knit community grounded in strong values and our shared mission: to enable every student to live "Life in all its fullness."

The core purpose of this role is to secure outstanding progress in all classes taught while also delivering excellent pastoral care-both in Spanish lessons and through the pastoral curriculum as a form tutor. Our teachers are deeply involved in school life and work together to promote the school's ethos and vision, for example through active participation in the house system and wider learning opportunities beyond the classroom.

Twyford CE Academies Trust

The Twyford Church of England Academies Trust (TCEAT) is a Multi Academy Trust which comprises four secondary schools in the London Borough of Ealing. The Trust was established in October 2011 to enable our heavily oversubscribed existing school, Twyford CE High School, to build on its successes and look outward to the large number of parents who were eager to become part of its community. Over a 10-year period it launched three new schools Ealing Fields, William Perkin and Ada Lovelace all of which have achieved progress outcomes ranking them in the top 1% of schools nationally, making TCEAT the highest performing Trust in the UK including the progress made by disadvantaged students. TCEAT aims to deliver outstanding education in a comprehensive school setting and embraces the Trust motto 'Life in all its fullness', encouraging students to use their individual gifts wisely and well. Supported by the London Diocesan Board for Schools (LDBS), TCEAT operates on collaborative principles with some central services to achieve consistency of provision. The Trust has a highly evolved common curriculum running through years 7-13, which has been devised by staff within the four schools. It has thriving post-16 provision, including both A-Levels and T-Levels, and is heavily oversubscribed. Music plays a significant role in the spiritual life of the TCEAT schools and pastoral systems are strong. The Trust also runs Teach West London, a Teaching School Hub for teacher training and development with outreach to over 330 schools across Ealing, harrow Hillingdon and Hounslow. More recently, TCEAT partnered with Oak National Academy to develop their English Secondary curriculum and produce high-quality resources for pupils in years 7-11. Following this success, a further partnership has evolved with Cam Academy Trust to support them with developing the MFL Curriculum for Oak. This is in collaboration with the Thames West Language Hub, which is an NCLE Language Hub run by TCEAT which aims to support high quality language education and high uptake of language learning in the local community.
