Be part of our journey…
Since relaunching in September 2021 with a new name and a new
ethos, Queen Elizabeth School is quickly establishing itself as a centre for
excellence. We are on a mission to “empower our students to achieve academic
excellence through aspiration and innovation”. With the support of a highly
ambitious leadership team and surrounded by colleagues who are passionate about
the whole student experience, and with our new sixth form, QE6 which opened in
September 2023, now is a fantastic time to join our forward thinking school.
Whatever
their role in the school, all of our colleagues share a passion for learning
and working with the next generation.
Situated
on the Hertfordshire/Bedfordshire border and close to the market town of
Hitchin, the school also benefits from being within five minutes drive of
idyllic countryside locations, yet being 5 minutes from the M1 and London Luton
Airport.
We are now looking
for a Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages to join our team. We are looking to build on the impressive
improvements we have already made and you will need to have the skills and knowledge to teach across
KS3 and KS4 and a good understanding of the current curriculum.
