Teacher of Information Technology and Computing job summary
Mark
Rutherford School is a large oversubscribed secondary school in the
northern part of Bedford with approximately 1300 students on roll.
We serve a wide-ranging urban catchment area whilst also taking
students from other parts of the town and surrounding villages. We offer
a broad and varied curriculum to suit the needs of our
students.
We are looking
to appoint a well-qualified, dynamic and highly motivated teacher of Information
Technology to Key Stage 3 and 4. The ability to teach at Key Stage 5 would be advantageous.
Within our experienced Computing and Information Technology department we are
able to support the development of Early Careers Teachers beginning their
teaching career. There would also be the opportunity for the successful
candidate to upskill to teach Computer Science as career development. We
currently offer Information Technology and Computer Science to Key Stage 4 and
5 and both are popular choices for our students. Core Information Technology is
taught across Key Stage 3 and 4.
We are lucky to have a large and pleasant campus with extensive green spaces for sport and recreation. Our infrastructure offers well-equipped classrooms and other subject specific facilities to support our students with their learning and personal development. Two large indoor sports facilities enable students to undertake a wide range of sports and we also have a 3G pitch for students to use for lessons, sporting fixtures and recreational time. Our recently opened £2 million STEM facility houses our planetarium whilst also providing a lecture theatre, number of classrooms and a computer room. For our STEM enthusiasts we offer access to additional qualifications, such as GCSE Astronomy and Sixth Form students lead a weekly club for Key Stage 3 students who have a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
All of our staff are dedicated and committed to raising standards and developing each child to reach their potential. We have a strong emphasis on academic achievement, backed up by the real knowledge of each student’s individual needs. Students learn in a positive, healthy and challenging environment.
At Mark Rutherford School we offer a supportive working environment and a comprehensive CPD offer. The school has an excellent induction programme as part of our staff support package and a clear pathway for career progression with our Aspiring Leaders Programme.
If you are
seeking to join a committed and enthusiastic team in a school where
collaboration and professional development are fully supported, then we would
be delighted to receive your application.
We are committed to the protection and safety of our students and the successful candidates will be subject to an enhanced DBS check. We welcome applications regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or religion.
