Five Islands Academy is a small, voluntary controlled Church of England through school serving the five inhabited Isles of Scilly communities of Bryher, St Agnes, St Martins, St Mary’s and Tresco. There are around 250 students on roll across four school sites. Secondary students and the majority of primary students are based on the Carn Gwaval multi age site on St Mary’s. This new building was opened in 2011 and provides a bright, open, well-resourced learning environment for the students. Primary children on the off-islands study in small mixed-age school bases, then join their peers on St Mary’s on a Friday for collaborative learning in specialist subjects.
Central to the development of our academy during recent years has been the development of a through school curriculum that nurtures curious, collaborative, creative global learners with rich knowledge and confident oracy. An exciting aspect of the MFL teaching role is the opportunity to collaborate with Trust colleagues across Truro & Penwith Academy Trust on developing a shared ‘Connect’ curriculum for French.
French results at Five Islands Academy have been on an upward trend over the past three years. We are seeking an enthusiastic, dynamic teacher who will further raise the profile of language learning in the school, developing Modern Foreign Languages as an area of excellence.
Our school takes every opportunity to engage with our unique islands’ environment, while also ensuring that our children have access to as many of the opportunities as possible that their mainland counterparts enjoy in order to support involvement with competitive sport and to boost their cultural capital. It is important that we help our students to look beyond their horizons, making connections with other countries and cultures. We are keen that our Modern Foreign Languages curriculum should support the creation of new intercultural links, using our excellent digital technology to reach out across the seas, bringing foreign language speakers into school and planning for trips abroad.
