What skills and experience we're looking for

We would like to appoint a committed, energetic, and enthusiastic Head of Computing and Business Studies, who will join a strong IT and Business Studies Department at an exciting stage in its development.

It is expected that the successful candidate will have the drive to inspire students to achieve the best possible results and be a good communicator, able to interact effectively with a wide and diverse group of people. Applicants should demonstrate a well thought out philosophy of education which reflects the needs of all learners and to play a full part in the life of the school community, to support its distinctive mission and ethos and to encourage and ensure staff and students follow this example.

Most importantly, as far as personal characteristics are concerned, we would like to find someone with warmth, enthusiasm, flexibility, and an unrelenting commitment to the success of every child. Last, but by no means least, a sense of humour is essential!

What the school offers its staff

Our aim is to provide an outstanding all-round educational experience and we are committed to the success and excellence for all our students. In June 2023 we were inspected by OFSTED and judged to be a strongly ‘good’ school with ‘outstanding’ personal development. We are enjoying the next stage of our journey (to become outstanding in all areas!) and continue to receive incredible feedback about our child centred approach; our leaders share our best practice through extensive outreach work across the city and beyond.

Trafalgar School is a very special community where relationships are at the core of everything we do. We are continually striving for excellence in all aspects of what we do as we fulfil our moto; “Learning today, leading tomorrow”. Being part of #teamtrafalgaris a privilege.

As a relational school, we pride ourselves on our calm, friendly and nurturing learning environment and the positive relationships that are fostered between students, staff, and parents. We work hard to ensure our students' experience is founded on our five core values, linked to the articles of the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) as part of our commitment as a UNICEF Rights Respecting School.
