There are new and exciting challenges daily in education, and as a computing and ICT specialist you will be acutely aware of this. In Computing and ICT at EWS, students are challenged from the beginning of Year 7 to work with, and gain inspiration from, a wide range of practical and coding experiences.  We are introducing the Computing curriculum to our key stage 3, and this can be a rewarding time, with the appointed teacher having the opportunity to help design a new and exciting curriculum. We keep this level of challenge high as our students - a vibrant and dynamic body of engaging young people – work with us towards their BTEC ICT qualifications at Level 2 and Level 3, which has Web Design and HTML subject focus. In addition we intend to offer OCR Computer Science GCSE.  

Come and join our forward looking, student-focused, energetic team – we work hard, but we work smart and we always work together.  We need you to help us move forward with your drive and attention to detail, making your lessons the highlight of every student’s day.
