ICT is taught throughout the 11 - 18 age range and at all levels of ability. ICT is taught in mixed ability groups in Years 7 and 8, with pupils at Hinchingbrooke starting their KS4 programme in Year 9 and there are often 50-65 pupils who opt to take this subject at GCSE. In KS4, we offer the Creative iMedia course along with the GCSE in Computer Science. In KS5, we offer A-level Computer Science and we run one class for this course.
Teaching
The successful candidate will be expected to be an excellent classroom practitioner. As a school we value highly the development of new and existing materials and the post will involve the opportunity to work on the review of existing materials and the development of new ideas.
Above all else, the successful candidate should be enthusiastic about their work with young people and have a genuine concern for their development as individuals.
The school sees the form tutor as a key role in the support, development and welfare of the students and teachers are expected to undertake this role with the same standards and commitment as their subject role.
The role will suit enthusiastic and aspirational teachers or those with good and outstanding practice who wish to share their expertise and make a difference. The school offers a bespoke CPD programme, research and development, links and networks with other outstanding schools as well as a plethora of extra-curricular and cross-curricular working opportunities.
Why come to Hinchingbrooke?
This is a fantastic school to work in: on interview, we ask candidates for their impressions of the college and without fail they comment on how wonderful our students are, the positive team ethos amongst staff and how friendly and welcoming the college is.
