Teacher of ICT

The de Ferrers Academy has gained a reputation for high levels of academic achievement, demonstrated by the fact that the 2016 results at GCSE and A-level are the best on record.  We have a positive ethos and excellent staff/student relationships, we value our staff and are committed to their personal and professional development.   

All Year 7 and 8 students (Key Stage 3) have one Computing lesson a week based around short projects that develop students’ computational and problem solving thinking. They will also look at the hardware and software required to facilitate different ICT systems and will apply computing and ICT skills to specific situations.

At Key Stage 4 students can choose Creative i-media, GCSE Computer Science, GCSE Business Studies, GCSE Economics and OCR Certificate in Enterprise and Marketing if they wish to continue to study Enterprise subjects. These are taught in option pools of three hours per week with examination at the end of Year 11. We achieve consistently excellent results in Year 11 which raises the Academy’s GSCE results and CVA considerably.

At Key Stage 5 Computer Science or BTEC Level 3 ICT are offered as options on five hours a week. BTEC ICT is also offered on 10 hours per week to achieve the equivalent of two A levels at the end of the course. Excellent results are achieved and ICT is always a popular A level subject.

All prospective candidates are very welcome to visit the Academy, to tour and meet with members of the faculty, and meet with our students.  We are situated on the rural outskirts of Burton upon Trent, within easy access of Birmingham, Nottingham and Derby.  As the Academy of choice for the local area, you will feel part of a supported community and, most importantly, a warm and friendly environment in which to educate our young people.  We offer an employee reward package which includes car leasing discounts and our own independent travel consultant.
