Job overview
Forest Preparatory School is situated at the innermost point of Epping Forest and is also within 30 minutes of the centre of London. It is well-known for the quality of its extended curriculum, successes in Sport, the Arts and for Academic Excellence with pupils regularly winning scholarships and awards to our own senior school as well as other highly competitive secondary schools. The junior section of an all-through school, Forest Preparatory School has its own specialist ICT room, but also benefits from sharing a site with the Senior School and utilising the whole-school facilities.
The integration of ICT is central to the vision of the Preparatory School and is an essential part of the school’s curriculum with weekly classroom lessons taught from the EYFS to upper KS2 and ICT becoming ever more embedded into the teaching of all subjects. Close ties with the Senior School ensure a continuity of experience for our pupils as they move through the School.
This is an exciting opportunity to develop ICT as a discreet subject at Forest and to devise and drive the School’s strategy for integrating ICT into the teaching of all subjects in the Prep and Pre-Prep. The post of ICT Co-ordinator in the Preparatory School is a new position for which we are seeking to appoint a dynamic teacher who is passionate about information technology in schools and who will stretch and challenge our most able whilst facilitating understanding and enjoyment for all. We are looking for someone who can work well with a certain degree of independence, who has an innovative outlook, clear ambition and enthusiasm for ICT in all its aspects and will be fully involved in the life of the school.
