Subject Leader Computer Science

A rare opportunity has arisen for us to appoint an exceptional classroom practitioner to lead Computer Science across Key stages 3, 4 and 5. The ideal candidate will have a passion for the subject, be able to inspire our students’ love of learning, and have a history of raising attainment. This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious professional, who wants to work in an environment which is both supportive and incredibly ambitious. Ultimately, this is a job for a professional who is driven by the desire to transform life chances through exceptional learning. The first and most significant aspect of the role will be in teaching consistently exceptional lessons to ensure students make exceptional progress, from KS3 to KS5, and this is the first priority for any teacher and leader in the school, from the Headteacher to a trainee teacher. The successful candidate will also help lead the development of our curriculum, refining the core and procedural knowledge in Computer Science. They will be leading a team of experienced colleagues and the role will include supporting the Team with honing and perfecting their craft, because at Debden it is an expectation for every teacher, no matter how experienced or effective, to continually seek to improve their practice. There is also the potential to grow the curriculum and Team in Computer Science at the school.
