Teacher of Computing

About East Lane Primary School

East Lane Primary School was opened in April 2017 and in November 2019 was judged ‘Outstanding’ in every category by Ofsted in its first full inspection (Please click here for the full report). It is housed in a new and purpose-built £14 million building with exceptional resources and is located adjacent to Wembley High. This provides our children with an ‘all-through’ experience of outstanding schools. East Lane Primary School is a 3-form entry school with pupils from Reception to Year 6. Our results to date for Early Years, Phonics, KS1 and KS2 have been amongst the highest in Brent and significantly above the national averages, and we are looking to continue this success as the school moves forward.

What the school offers its staff

All teachers at East Lane receive a comprehensive, structured programme, delivered by highly-trained mentors and bespoke to the individual’s needs. As part of the WMAT, we also have the Teaching School Hub which spans Brent, Barnet and Enfield and is based at WHTC. Teachers can undertake NPQs with us and have the opportunity to develop their experience with an area they would wish to gain further expertise. If you are keen to develop as an outstanding leader or practitioner, then we would love to hear from you.

The Teaching Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and outstanding Teacher of Computing. The ideal candidate would have extensive knowledge of computing at primary level, and beyond.

 We are looking for a candidate who will demonstrate the following:

·        Considerable impact in raising standards of student progress across our school in Computing.

·        Excellence in the management and development of an interesting and challenging Computing curriculum. 

·        Excellent behaviour management for pupils of all ages.

·        The ability to take initiative and be proactive in your teaching.

·        An understanding of how pupils learn, and the ability to adapt the curriculum to suit the needs of the pupils.

 Lessons will take place in one of our ICT suites based here within the school. Candidates with prior experience of Computing or relevant qualifications will be considered favourably. Our curricular structure is different to many other primary schools; the school is based around subjects with specialist teachers providing expert subject knowledge to ensure pupils’ progress is exceptional.

Our staff tend to mainly teach their specialist subjects and we believe this allows our pupils to greatly deepen their knowledge and understanding of key areas and this fully prepares them for their transition to secondary school. Visits to the school are highly encouraged, as are early applications.
