We are looking for an exceptional and highly motivated teacher to join our talented and forward-thinking ICT department where you will be supported and developed to ensure that you deliver inspirational and innovative teaching on a daily basis. The team works collaboratively to share good practice and to improve teaching and learning across the department.
The successful candidate would be joining a very enthusiastic, motivated and dedicated team where student progress is the focal point.
The ICT team is made up of two specialist ICT teaching staff, hosting a wide range of experience. All teachers within the team teach a range of groups within key stages 3, 4 and many in KS5.
The leadership structure in the department is made up of the Subject Leader with one other specialist.
We are seeking an exceptional ICT teacher to join a strong, stable, and creative subject team, which is committed to achieving excellent outcomes for all our students and developing in students a real passion for the subject. The team works collaboratively to share good and innovative practice and has a relentless focus on ensuring that teaching and learning is effective across the department.
Over the past three years the department has worked together to embed a new Scheme of Learning focusing on improving students’ outcomes at KS4 whilst ensuring progress for all students, offering opportunities for extension and challenge. As a department we share all curriculum resources, ensuring both ECTs and more experienced teachers feel supported and well-placed to challenge students to develop their knowledge. All staff contribute to curriculum planning and development and have opportunities to develop their own teaching practice through departmental CPD.
Learning at Post 16 is a strong feature of the department, delivering A Level Computing and Cambridge Technical in IT. We also deliver GCSE Computing at KS4 to support a strong transition to KS5. Our KS5 courses remain consistently popular offering a wide range of options to students and many opportunities to staff for teaching at KS5.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious teacher with a vision for success who in addition contributes to the whole school community. As a department, we actively support the whole-school wider provision offering, through exciting extra-curricular activities and projects. One of the most popular after school clubs is the ‘strategy’ club, which is run by one of the department members.
The ICT Department aims to stimulate and maintain students’ interest and enjoyment of ICT, creating an atmosphere where students are able to make rapid progress. The successful candidate would be joining a very enthusiastic, motivated, inspiring, and cohesive team where student progress and engagement is at the heart of our everyday, supporting every student to fulfil their potential.
