Subject Leader of Computer Science job summary
About Us
Wembley High Technology College is one of the highest performing schools in the country. Nationally, the achievement of our pupils is exceptional; in 2024, our Progress 8 score of +1.43 meant that our students on average achieved nearly one and a half grades higher than their peers nationally. This progress from Key Stage 2 to GCSE has a transformative impact on our pupils’ life chances and last year, over 60% of pupils leaving us went on to Russell Group universities to study a range of academic subjects.
The Computer Science Departments
‘Achievement for All’ is the ethos that underpins everything we do across the WMAT, and the Computer Science department is uniquely positioned to equip our students with the digital fluency, creativity and problem-solving skills they need to thrive in an ever-changing technological world. As Subject Leader, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction of the department, including curriculum design, implementation, impact evaluation and the development of a high-performing team of practitioners.
We are looking for a leader with a deep passion for Computer Science and digital education—someone who can champion technological literacy across the school and promote the cultural capital that comes from understanding, critiquing and creating technology. The successful candidate will be an outstanding classroom teacher with a proven track record of securing excellent outcomes for students. They will be innovative in their approach to curriculum development, ambitious in their vision for the subject, and committed to driving excellence in both teaching and learning.
As Subject Leader, you will cultivate a collaborative and disciplined team culture, developing staff expertise and leadership capacity while maintaining high expectations for consistency, rigour and ambition. You will model adaptive, research-informed practice and support colleagues to do the same, ensuring that students across Key Stages receive a rich, cohesive and forward-thinking Computer Science education.
Through the Training School Hub, leaders at all levels of the Trust benefit from exceptional professional development, including fully-funded, DfE-accredited NPQ programmes. These gold-standard qualifications empower our leaders to grow, drive change and make a meaningful impact within their departments and across the Trust. If you are excited by the prospect of shaping the next generation of digital thinkers and innovators, and you enjoy working within a culture of high aspiration and shared best practice, we would be delighted to hear from you.
