Wood Green is an oversubscribed 11-18 Academy school in the thriving town of Witney, 10 miles west of Oxford. Our strong reputation and results improving year-on-year have led to a rapid rise in student applications. We believe strongly in a culture of mutual respect and strong relationships, demonstrated in our Behaviour Policy built on restorative principles and everything is underpinned by our LEARNWell values. Our school mission is “to develop exceptional, well-qualified and well-rounded young people who make a positive contribution to our school, our community and the world”. This demonstrates our commitment to the whole child, academically and personally.

 

We are now looking for a talented and enthusiastic teacher to join our Computer Science and IT Department. We work closely with the Personal Development team with our e-Safety content; and with D&T for the engineering side of the subject. Programming is taught using Scratch, Python and the control system software, Flowol. In addition, Microsoft Office skills are taught with the emphasis of coursework delivery in all subjects. The Department has had very impressive results, at GCSE. We encourage leadership skills in Computing and our older students often help out in programming lessons at KS3.

 

We are looking for staff who:

  • Want to be excellent practitioners in their subjects
  • Want to inspire students to learn and grow, both in and out of the classroom
  • Are keen to collaborate to achieve our shared aims and to develop best practice, and to find solutions to our challenges together
  • Want to keep learning and growing throughout their career
  • Are committed to helping all our young people to be exceptional, well-qualified and well-rounded people who make a positive contribution to our school, our community and the world

 

What we will offer:

  • A calm, purposeful environment that staff, pupils and visitors enjoy (Ofsted 2019)
  • Committed department teams with the autonomy to innovate, within an effective aligned approach to teaching
  • Access to high quality CPD 
  • A genuine commitment to staff wellbeing – wellbeing is a core value and staff wellbeing is one of our strategic priorities. We care about our staff as teachers and as people.
