Computer Science is a popular subject and we are looking to appoint a candidate who can offer diverse and engaging lessons in order to secure the best outcomes for our students throughout Years 7 – 13.  At KS4, we offer GCSE Computer Science and BTEC Tech in Digital Information Technology. At Post-16, we also offer students A Level Computer Science and BTEC National in ICT.  

Weatherhead High School is an extremely successful school. We are accredited with ‘World Class Schools’ status giving us recognition that we have moved beyond our ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted status and have improved student progress, aspiration, and achievement to such an extent that our students rival those of the best schools’ nationally and internationally. We are very proud of this external recognition that our students are truly world class.  

The school consistently achieves significantly above the national average in examination results and has positive scores for both Progress 8 and Attainment 8 at GCSE and has consistently high performance in both A Level and all Applied Level courses.
