What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint an energetic, innovative and hardworking Teacher of Computer Science (KS3-KS5) to join the department and inspire pupils and students.
The successful candidate will be:
An experienced teacher of ICT/Computer Science and vocational Computer Science subjects across the age and ability range, with a track record of high achievement (both raw and value added scores) at GCSE and A Level.
Well qualified, enthusiastic, innovative and passionate about the study of Computer Science and Food Technology.
Willing to develop the particularly valuable extra-curricular side of Computer Science.
At the core of this role is to uphold and support the College mission statement. The primary responsibilities are for learning, teaching and pupil progress – preparing and delivering an engaging curriculum, monitoring and assessing pupil progress and providing appropriate pastoral support to pupils within your care.
It is a presumption of main scale teachers that they are working within the parameters outlined in the Teachers’ Standards (England) 2012, and as they progress from M1 to M6 do so with increasing confidence and consistency. Performance management will therefore be expected to comment positively upon the level of confidence and consistency in the Teachers’ Standards evidenced in the teacher’s performance. It is a presumption of UPS teachers that they are (a) confidently and consistently working within the parameters outlined in the Teachers’ Standards (England) 2012; (b) Furthermore, in becoming a UPS teacher, they have demonstrated and therefore committed to continue to make a significant, substantial and sustained contribution to the successful development of the College, its staff and pupils, as outlined in the Post-Threshold Standards.
Performance management will therefore be expected to comment positively upon both (a) and (b)
above.

With its strong track record of academic success, pastoral care, and enrichment of every student, the school has become highly popular and is consistently oversubscribed, receiving over 1,000 applications for just 176 Year 7 places. The College has built close ties with the local community, including a partnership with its co-located primary school, forming the Cathedral Choir School for the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. The College offers a broad range of extracurricular activities, from music and drama to a wide variety of sports, and academic clubs such as mathematics and science, where students have excelled in national competitions. These activities are supported by excellent sports facilities, including an indoor swimming pool. The thriving Sixth Form, with over 300 students, is one of the largest in the city and is further enhanced by the Honours Programme, which targets Oxbridge and Russell Group universities.
