What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for an inspirational, committed and enthusiastic professional to join our Computer Science and Mathematics Department in September 2024 on a full-time permanent basis. The successful candidate will teach Mathematics at KS3 and KS4 (0.4), and will teach Computer Science to KS3 (0.6). We would welcome applications from Maths teachers who are interested in training to become the Computer Science teacher/lead. The Mathematics Department is made up of keen mathematicians who embrace any opportunity to celebrate the subject both inside and outside of the classroom. The collaborative nature of the team allows for teachers with varying levels of experience to flourish through mutual support and sharing of best practice.
This is also an exciting opportunity to develop Computer Science, which has been delivered as a discrete subject at Key Stage 3 at Lady Margaret School for the last two years. This role encourages students to think in new ways and to be creative. The Subject Lead for Computer Science would teach students in Years 7-9; all classes have one lesson a week dedicated to Computer Science. Across KS3, students learn about Coding, Computer Skills and E-Safety. Assessment objectives relate to (1) the development of knowledge and understanding of the principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation; (2) application of the principles and concepts of computer science, including to analyse problems in computational terms, and (3) designing, programming and evaluating computer systems that solve problems. The successful candidate will have subject knowledge of the subject or a willingness to upskill themselves for this subject. Training is available for a non-specialist, including drawing on expertise from colleagues in the school, and, where helpful, from other schools. We see Computer Science as a vital way of preparing students for life beyond school, giving them key skills relating to digital literacy and an ability to think creatively within a technology context. Computer Science sits alongside other technologies, Science, Art and Maths as a subject which challenges our students and equips them with the background and tools they need to excel. As a school, we have a strong track record of students pursuing STEM subjects throughout the school and beyond.
What the school offers its staff
- A supportive school that has staff well-being at its core
- Enthusiastic and engaged students and a culture of high aspirations
- Excellent career progression opportunities in addition to the high quality CPD which is part of our established systems for staff support and development
- A comprehensive benefits package including pension, employee assistance programme and Cyclescheme
- A convenient location served by excellent transport links, close to local amenities and green spaces.
