Teacher of Computer Science job summary

Computing is an increasingly popular subject, with all students studying the subject at KS3 and over the last few years we have had increasing numbers who have chosen to study the subject at KS4 and KS5.

The Computing department consists of three members of staff. All three are subject specialists and work well together to support each other in the delivery of the subject across the school. The Director of Computing works closely with the network manager and the Business Manager to support the development of the infrastructure across the school as well as supporting teachers with the use of Google Classroom. The school is well equipped with four computer suites and a number of chromebooks which are used across the school. The school actively uses Google Classroom which supports the learning in computing but also in all other subjects.

The curriculum at Key Stage 3 is delivered in two years, with students being taught in form groups for one period per week. The curriculum introduces coding to all using a number of interfaces as well as covering key issues such as e-safety and data protection. At Key Stage 4 and 5 students can choose to study Computing at GCSE and A level. The curriculum for computing has been constantly reviewed and developed which has led to improved outcomes across the subject. It is a popular subject amongst the students, with a number of external students joining us to study computing at A level. The Computing curriculum we have in place at the moment is broad, balanced and continues to be developed. We have a wide range of extra-curricular provision for students regarding computing and have made the national finals of the raspberry-pi competition and were overall winners two years ago.

The post would provide the opportunity for both experienced and less experienced teachers. The department is well resourced and has the ability to provide high levels of expertise to any teacher joining the department, whilst also providing the opportunity to participate more widely across the school.
