The successful candidate will share the responsibility for the delivery of German as a Foreign language from KG (UK year 1/Germany Vorschule) to Grade 5 (UK year 6). We were originally founded as the German School of Bombay and the teaching of the German Language is enshrined in our articles of registration. Part of the school’s strategic missions is to increase the number of students taking higher level German proficiency exams and having the option to study at University in Germany. To this end, the current subject lead has developed a strong curriculum for the Primary Section that seeks to ensure that students who have been studying with us for a few years reach A1 by the time they move to Secondary. Class sizes are small with no more than 18 children in any one Primary class. This post would teach at both our Campuses. The successful applicant would also be asked to teach a small number of mother tongue students German, and one or two other subjects at Primary level they felt comfortable offering. We are an equal opportunities employer and successful candidates must have a commitment to Safeguarding, Child protection and Diversity and Inclusion. We will take up references to ensure the suitability of all candidates to work with young people. The initial contract is for 2 years – with an opportunity to extend on mutual agreement
