Languages play an integral and lively part of the curriculum at Kingston Grammar School and the Department provides our students with a vibrant outlet for language discovery and learning. In the First- and Second-Year students' study two languages (French, German, Italian or Spanish), in Third Year, Spanish can be taken ab initio. At GCSE level it is compulsory to study one MFL, but many students will study two. We follow the Edexcel IGCSE syllabus for French, German, Spanish and Mandarin.

Every member of staff at KGS is expected to involve themselves in the co-curricular life of the school and we particularly welcome applicants who might be able to support any of the following activities Junior Science Club, Faraday Society, Engineering Club, CCF, Community Service or those who are prepared to assist the coaching of Hockey, Rowing, Cricket or Football.

Staff are remunerated through the Kingston Grammar School salary scale, which tracks significantly above the national scale for teachers.
