This is an exciting role for an enthusiastic teacher as we prepare our students for GCSEs and the cutting-edge T-Level course. Our first Year 11 cohort have recently departed after securing some of the country’s best GCSE results, ranking the school inside the top 20 nationally.

The school has a specialism in digital technologies and will provide different routes from Year 7 to Year 13 in Computing as well as having a digital focus on the Arts and Creative Media. Ada Lovelace will use its Digital specialism to promote innovate approaches to teaching and learning using computation thinking processes across the curriculum to develop agile, confident problem solvers and effective decision makers. We will use the story of Ada Lovelace to make exciting employer links to deliver an ambitious employer and work-related experience programme. Recently we have worked with massive companies and industry leaders Amazon, IBM and Cisco to support our students achieving the very best. Finally, the school prides itself on a brilliant wider learning program which sees students participate in a huge range of activities, both on site and off.
