“Leaders are rightly proud of the difference they continue to make at this school. They lead the school with a clear vision and impressive moral purpose. They have made sure that all staff are well trained and understand the role that they each play in the school’s improvement journey” (Ofsted 2022)

We are looking to appoint a Lead Teacher of Computing and ICT for September 2024 with the energy, enthusiasm and commitment to continue to develop our exciting and engaging Key Stage 3 curriculum and shape the future of Computing and ICT at Woodlands. The post holder will build on the successes of our vocational programmes at KS4 to develop students’ skills in programming as well as the application of ICT knowledge. The offer of extra-curricular opportunities will be key to broadening the horizons of students of all ages.  

As the Lead Teacher of Computing and ICT you will join our successful Design Technology faculty, as well as having the opportunity to work alongside lead teachers in other faculty areas. The school has a strong CPD pathway for leaders at all levels, and the successful candidate will have access to a wide range of opportunities, including NPQ programmes that suit their interests and experiences.

In joining us, you will be joining a team of passionate colleagues with a shared vision to move the school onto the next stage in its improvement journey. The successful candidate will share our school values of respect, resilience and responsibility and will have clear evidence of how these values have been displayed within their current role.

What can Woodlands offer?

• Opportunity to make a difference to the life choices of our students in a stimulating, challenging and friendly place to work
• Key role at the heart of a collaborative faculty team
• Extensive opportunities for professional development with educational research at its centre
