We are seeking to appoint an inspirational and enthusiastic teacher of Computer Science and ICT to join our large and developing department. Computer science is taught at all Key Stages. At KS3 we offer one lesson a week to all students and cover a variety of computer science and ICT topics. At KS4 GCSE Computer Science and Cambridge Nationals in Creative I media are available as optional subjects, whilst at KS5 we offer AQA Computer Science at A Level as well as the level 3 Cambridge Technical introductory diploma in IT.

• be reflective and eager to develop their teaching skills.
