Are you an enthusiastic and dynamic Computer Science teacher with the skills to lead the Computer Science and IT curriculum and support digital learning across our excellent school?
At St Mary’s we work tenaciously to ensure that Computer Science and IT is an enjoyable, interesting and worthwhile experience for all pupils. We aim to foster pupils’ perseverance and resourcefulness in solving problems and to develop their ability to think logically yet creatively, leading to an affinity with the subject and excellent outcomes.
The Computing curriculum at St Mary’s envisions a future in which students:
· Critically engage in public discussion on computer science topics;
· Develop as learners, users, and creators of computer science knowledge and artefacts;
· Better understand the role of computing in the world around them; and
· Use technology to learn, perform, and express themselves in other subjects and interests.
The successful candidate will have secondary school Computer Science and IT teaching experience and up-to-date specialist knowledge, as well as the management skills to continue the development of their department. The position would suit either an experienced Head of Department looking for their next move or someone seeking their first departmental management role.
You will have the ability to teach Key Stages 3-5 and be responsible for leading Computer Science, IT and ensure the delivery of extracurricular activities. Enthusiasm for the subject, overall teaching expertise and professionalism are vital so as to inspire the students’ thirst for learning.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Welcome
St. Mary’s has a strong tradition of providing an authentic education which aims to deliver excellence for every member of our Catholic community. It is our mission to build on that tradition as we develop the school still further over the years ahead.
Our school is built upon an ambitious mission for each and every young person: to fulfil academic potential; to be fully developed in the personal, social and spiritual areas of life; to achieve excellence in every area of life; and to be underpinned by Gospel Values, enabling each person to value individuals and contribute positively to society. We work in partnership with parents and the wider community to ensure that this mission is accomplished in the lives of all our young people, and in so doing, enable those young people to live life to the full.
The aims of the school are:
• the formation of our young people according to Gospel values;
• the fulfilment of the potential of our pupils in all aspects of the curriculum;
• the personal, social and spiritual development of our pupils into responsible, generous and caring members of society;
• the achievement of all these within a culture of respect and appreciation for the worth and contribution of each member of our school and its wider community.
In 1896, five Sisters from the Belgian congregation of St Mary of Namur came to Bishop's Stortford and established a school with just 9 students. These pioneering Sisters were the first to provide Catholic education for the district, and the school rapidly became a success. Their legacy is St Mary’s Catholic School, and as we look to the future with high expectations for continued success, their vision continues to inspire us. This is expressed in our aspiration towards academic excellence founded on Gospel values. In practical terms this also means the best possible pastoral care and guidance and the challenge and support of a broad range of spiritual opportunities which permeate through all aspects of school life.
