About our MFL Department

The Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) department at Droitwich Spa High School provides a comprehensive curriculum focusing on French and Spanish. It prepares students for GCSE and A-Level study by developing skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking, with an emphasis on accuracy, grammar, and vocabulary. Students study one language (French or Spanish) in year 8 and year 9. Foreign Languages is an optional subject in KS4 and uptake numbers are healthy. We work hard to make lessons challenging and relevant for all students.

If you are looking for a role—full-time or part-time—where you can make a genuine impact, be supported by committed colleagues, and continue to develop your practice, we would be delighted to hear from you.
