Strong subject knowledge in German Language and Literature.
An understanding of how to differentiate learning across a wide range of ages and abilities.
A flexible and collaborative approach to working within an international school Languages team.
Experience teaching within an international school environment or an English National Curriculum setting would be an advantage.
Experience supporting students with a range of additional learning needs would be beneficial.
Our classrooms have access to interactive technology and digital learning resources, and there is a strong commitment to integrating ICT meaningfully into teaching and learning.
As well as their teaching responsibilities, all teachers are expected to contribute positively to the school’s pastoral systems and wider school community. This includes supporting school activities and offering an Extra-Curricular Activity that either extends students’ learning within their subject area or reflects another area of personal interest.
At St Andrews, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive school, and we have an excellent reputation for supporting children with special educational needs. Experience of teaching children with dyslexia, mild autism, ADHD and other additional learning needs would be valuable prior experience for a teacher wishing to join our team.
Our Mission Statement commits us to meeting “all the needs of the individual learner”, and this applies equally to students requiring additional support and those targeting the very highest grades at IGCSE and IB.
Joining St Andrews means becoming part of a warm and inclusive community where teachers contribute beyond the classroom. In addition to teaching, you will engage in our vibrant pastoral system, residential trips and extracurricular activities that enhance student growth, whether through academics, creative arts, sports or social initiatives.
We embrace technology as an integral part of teaching and learning and continually adapt to developments in digital education. Every teacher receives a personal device to support their work.
St Andrews is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all our students and expects all staff to share the same commitment.
No teacher will be appointed without satisfactory safeguarding checks, including at least two professional references, one of which must be from the most recent employer, a ten-year criminal record check, and any relevant regional Prohibition Order/DBS or equivalent checks.
