What skills and experience we're looking for
Coleridge Community College is now recruiting for a Head of Computer Science. You will be teaching in a department which is ambitious about achieving the very best results for our students.
You will need to lead and manage the department in accordance with the Academy Development Plan, ensure the highest standards of learning, and achievement and development for all students working within your subject

We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. Our mission, therefore, is to bring out ‘the best in everyone’. We also believe in ‘Education with Character’ – we want young people to look back on a schooling that has inspired and challenged them, given them wide opportunity and prepared them for the ups and downs of life.
