Subject Leader - Computer Science

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for an aspiring Leader to develop their career in a brand-new school that is fully supported by the infrastructure of a highly successful Trust. Prince Albert High is free school which opened in September 2021 to a cohort of 180 students. Our aspirations for our cohort are no different to the aspirations that we have for our own children. Our aim is to develop a generation of young people who will not only transform their own life chances but make the world a better place too. Prince Albert High is unique because it is one of the very few secondary schools where the incoming year 7 students and their families are well-known by our school. This is because the vast majority of our students come from multi-academy trust’s primaries. As the school enters its third year, you will have the opportunity to shape the school community and your career at Prince Albert High as the school grows

We are looking to appoint a subject leader who is energetic, committed, and excited about producing an outstanding generation of young people who will not only transform their own life chances but make the world a better place. Prince Albert High opened in 2021 with a year 7 cohort and you will be joining us in the third year of our journey as we welcome a third intake of students. We place bespoke professional development and support at the heart of all we do. We are relentless in the pursuit of excellence for all our stakeholders and firmly believe in the coaching model. Our mission is that through working together we aspire to achieve:

• An exceptional education for all our pupils in all our schools
• Exceptional people – to have the best team working with and for our pupils, through investing in the growth and development of our staff.
• An exceptional infrastructure – to have buildings, equipment, systems, processes, and policies that enable excellent education.
• Sustainability and growth – to be a resilient, nimble, and financially and environmentally sustainable organisation with sound financial management and strong governance

At Prince Albert High, key stage 3 follows a middle school model, with pupils in year 7 and year 8 being taught predominantly by the same class teacher. This has created a highly aspirational culture, rooted in outstanding relationship with students and their families, trust and warmth. This middle school model will be supported by an exceptional pastoral team with extensive knowledge of the students and their families.
