The post and the department
This is an opportunity for an enthusiastic and exceptional teacher to join our Computer Science teaching team, teaching in key stage 3, at GCSE and at A level. You will join a teaching team currently comprising a full-time Head of Computing and one other part-time teacher.
Computer Science is taught in every year group and across all three sections of the school (Sixth Form; Years 7-11; and The International School). Individual teachers will normally teach across two of the three sections. This specific post involves a significant proportion of A Level teaching (at least half the total contact hours), as well as teaching at either Y7-11 or The International School.
The person
The successful applicant will be a talented computer scientist who is passionate about teaching their subject. They will be a teacher whose approach is a flexible one; a teacher with strong academic skills and subject knowledge, but also the ability to convey knowledge, passion and enjoyment of the subject to students across the full ability range. Flexibility of approach, a sense of fun, a readiness to respond to students’ individual needs and an enthusiastic, open approach to teaching are among the qualities we value.
d’Overbroeck’s offers teachers and students alike a friendly and welcoming environment where classes are small and standards are high.
Applications
The Application Form, full Curriculum Vitae and a covering letter should be emailed to HR@doverbroecks.com
Please apply as soon as possible, but no later than Monday 6 May 2019
Short-listed candidates will be invited for interview as soon as possible after the deadline. We reserve the right to invite early applicants for interview before the deadline, where this is deemed desirable.

About d'Overbroeck's
THE SCHOOL
d’Overbroeck’s is a co-educational independent day and boarding school in Oxford for students aged 11 – 18. The school roll currently stands at around 750, and this is set to grow in the coming years.
Founded in 1977, initially as a Sixth Form, d’Overbroeck’s has maintained its founding values throughout its growth.
We believe in outstanding teaching and laughter. We celebrate the individual and foster a culture that promotes collaboration and originality. We pride ourselves on our unique blend of social informality and academic rigour.
d’Overbroeck’s consists of three sections:
Years 7-11 – 200 students; currently all day students although open to boarders from next year. Based at Leckford Place, OX2 6HX.
Sixth Form – 440 students; a mixture of day and boarding. Domestic and international. Based at a purpose-built site at 333 Banbury Road.
The International School – around 125 international students who are all boarders, across years 9-11.
All in all, this is a busy and happy educational environment in which staff and students enjoy positive relationships based on mutual respect and a shared sense of purpose. As our most recent ISI inspection report puts it:
‘A defining characteristic of d’Overbroeck’s is its close-knit, informal atmosphere within which students grow in confidence, self-esteem, respect for themselves and for others. Students are very supportive of each other and behaviour throughout is excellent, exemplified in considerate, warm relationships.
In its key findings, our most recent inspection report (2021) found that our students are highly motivated with extremely positive attitudes to learning. They were described as successful collaborative learners who are naturally inclusive. They were said to have a remarkably strong sense of self understanding and excellent awareness of how to improve and achieve their goals.
