Teacher of Computer Science

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and innovative Computer Science teacher to play a key role in a popular and growing department, ensuring our pupils are technologically engaged, real-world ready and prepared for the future.

You will be joining a department that is well-equipped and uses an extensive range of software and hardware platforms to support teaching and learning. Computer Science is established as a popular and innovative subject across both our Senior and Junior Schools, housed in an Enterprise Technology Hub in Seniors, and a newly built Enterprise Technology Suite in Juniors. Pupil numbers are strong and exam results are excellent. Our pupils also enter a wide range of computer science competitions and events. 

You will contribute to providing an excellent education by teaching with expertise and enthusiasm, offering support to the learning of individual students and contributing to the school’s pastoral system. You will have the opportunity to build upon the considerable work already untaken by the department to ensure that our technology offer engages ‘every girl, every day’ and enables pupils to embrace emerging and disruptive technologies.

You will be a well-qualified graduate, with qualified teacher status and a proven track record of academic success within computer science. You should be willing to teach up to A Level and be able to use an appropriate range of teaching strategies and resources, including e-learning to meet the needs of all students.
