Job overview
Ibstock Place School are seeking to appoint a full time Teacher of Computing on a fixed term contract.
The post holder will report to the Director of Digital Strategy.
This is a fixed term contract that will run from the 29th August 2024 to the 31st December 2024.
Computing at Ibstock is an innovative and forward-thinking subject. In the Lower School, pupils are introduced to current topics across IT, Digital Literacy and Computer Science.
The curriculum across Senior 7-9 encourages an application-led approach that provides pupils with an opportunity to embrace innovation and creativity within computation.
A focus on relevant and useful skills that improve knowledge, confidence, and technical ability is key to the School of Computing’s pedagogical ethos.
A commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion within the subject is reflected in the resources that are used within the curriculum across age groups.
Alongside the timetabled lessons, several co-curricular opportunities are also offered, giving pupils the opportunity to explore areas of the industry outside of curriculum content.
The School also offers an A-Level in Computer Science, following the OCR curriculum. Pupils are encouraged to make use of our state-of-the-art facilities when producing their NEA project.
The number of pupils choosing to take the GCSE and A-Level courses continues to grow each year.
In order to support the development of Computing/Computer Science the School is seeking a passionate and talented teacher of computing.
The successful candidate would also play an important role in the School’s recently established Innovation Hub, meaning that experience with and interest in CAD machinery, robotics, web design, game design or eSports would be an advantage.
