Hello all. Secondary modern languages teacher here, trained in 99/00. I've been working in a private school for the last three years and like so many I've been Batted by the education cuts and general contraction in that sector.

So here I am, unexpectedly, looking for a job again. It's so slow this summer. Anyway, I know I'm not alone and there seem to be loads of retirements happening. I'm hoping August will bring some luck.
