Mount House School is a small, co-educational independent day school for students aged 11 – 18 years located on a stunning rural site on Camlet Way in the London Borough of Barnet.
With 250 students currently on roll, the School has ambitious plans and investment to grow to 350 in the coming years. Small class sizes and modern teaching methods supported by outstanding pastoral care combine to ensure each student achieves their best, whilst a broad and varied co-curricular programme equips them with the skills needed to thrive in adult life.
The School’s vision is underpinned by ASPIRE, values that enable each student to be Adaptable, Supportive, Principled, Inquisitive, Resilient and Excellent.
We are seeking to appoint a dynamic, passionate and inspirational Teacher of Spanish and French at Mount House School for September 2025. The successful candidate would have excellent organisational skills and pedagogical knowledge. They would be able to develop and follow schemes of work as well as deliver motivating lessons to children with a range of abilities. The ability to teach either of these languages up to A Level would be beneficial, and ideally both at GCSE level. We want someone who is keen to challenge students and have high expectations for what they can achieve. Working collaboratively with colleagues, they would also be willing to be an active participant in co-curricular activities for the MFL Faculty and the wider school. The school is expanding and opportunities for responsibility may be available for the right candidate in the future. If a candidate is keen to offer an additional subject then this can be made clear on the application, but is not necessary.
The post is available from September 2025.
