German is a popular subject, taught within the core curriculum and offered as an option to pupils from First Year (Y7) through to Upper Sixth (Y13).

In the Fourth and Fifth Year (Y10 & Y11), pupils work towards the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) IGCSE. Sixth Form pupils progress to either the AQA A Level or the one-year Goethe-Zertifikat B1.

The German department benefits from a wide range of high-quality published resources, including online eBooks and subscription platforms such as This Is School and Language Nut, alongside a strong suite of our own bespoke teaching materials.

Pupils’ enthusiasm for German is actively encouraged through imaginative, varied and appropriately challenging courses at all stages of the School, including structured preparation for Oxbridge.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach German up to and including A Level. The School has a strong record of academic success, with many pupils going on to study Modern Languages at university, frequently in combination with other academic subjects.

Hampton is an academically selective school; the requirements of the role include stretching the most able pupils up to Oxbridge level.

Teaching at Hampton extends far beyond the classroom and academic success. Our exciting co-curricular programme is at the heart of School life and offers pupils countless opportunities to explore their passions, try something new and develop skills that last a lifetime.

The School has its own salary scale and offers generous non-contractual benefits, well above the maintained sector, to attract high-calibre candidates. Accommodation may also be available for the successful applicant.

We encourage applications as soon as possible and the School reserves the right to commence or complete the interview process at any time prior to the closing date.
