Brentwood Senior School is an academically selective HMC co-educational independent school with small class sizes and a happy, ambitious and supportive staff team. It is part of Brentwood School, a 3-18 HMC school of 1900 pupils, just 20 minutes from London Liverpool Street.
This is an exciting opportunity for an outstanding Teacher of Computer Science to join this high performing School. We are looking for an enthusiastic, qualified graduate to teach Computer Science in our well-equipped department.
The role involves teaching Computer Science throughout the Senior School, from Year 7 up to and including the Sixth Form where we offer IB Diploma and A Level Computer Science. Students are taught Computer Science through computational thinking, problem-solving and practical coding exercises in a number of languages, particularly C# and JavaScript. We offer the OCR GCSE, IB Diploma HL/SL and AQA A Level specifications. Members of the department collaborate and contribute jointly to the development of programmes of study, with the ambition to be at the forefront of innovative approaches to teaching and learning. The department is also involved in the development and delivery of our digital literacy curriculum which supports the school’s digital strategy, including the use of Artificial Intelligence.
The Senior Leadership Team is strongly supportive of Computer Science: a progressive innovative curriculum in Computer Science which forms an important part of our new long-term strategy for the School intended to prepare students with the skills they need to flourish in the modern world.
The successful candidate will also be expected to assist in the support offered to pupils outside the classroom. Furthermore, all teaching staff are expected to participate fully in the wider life of the School through co-curricular involvement.
Brentwood School ethos
We embody our values of virtue, learning and manners just as those before us have been doing since 1557. We are proud of our modern inclusive community which is shaped by our Christian Foundation. Our pupils are confident without being arrogant, they look out for each other, they do the right thing, even when no-one is looking and they respect difference.
We help our pupils to solve problems. In partnership with parents, we teach them to persevere after setbacks, adopt a growth mindset, and challenge the norm. We encourage them to ask questions in class and take control of their own learning. Of course, they work hard and enjoy great success in and out of the classroom, and once they’ve left us, many go on to use and develop their leadership skills and achieve beyond their expectations, always remembering what Brentwood has taught them.
That’s who we are. We are Brentwood.
Staff across both the Prep and Senior School enjoy a bespoke collaborative approach to professional development. We believe in being a research engaged school, with those that facilitate our in-house research programme being trained by the Institute of Education. We support many of our staff in obtaining external accreditation across a range of fields and are engaged with a number of national and international organisations. We are a highly supportive school that values the contributions made by a motivated and intellectually curious staff.
There are a range of ways that we enhance our staff experience; free gym membership, benefits hub, free lunch, free tickets to school concerts and performance to name but a few. Brentwood School has its own pay scale that is significantly above the maintained sector and we also have a range of subsidised staff accommodation that may be available for the successful applicant should they need to relocate.
