Head of Digital Learning and IT Teacher

Cheltenham Prep School seeks to appoint an outstanding leader and teacher to take on the role of Head of Digital Learning as well as Teaching IT across the School (3-13).

The successful candidate will be responsible for the smooth day-to-day running of all aspects of this thriving department. ICT is taught by subject specialists in Years 5 to 8 and by the Class Teacher in Years 4 and below.

Teaching across Years 5 to 8 and overseeing ICT education throughout the school, the post holder will also be expected to play a full part in the life of this busy day and boarding school.  

The role is likely to suit a talented, motivated, hard-working teacher who loves prep school life and who is looking for a hugely enjoyable and fulfilling role. All applicants, however, will be considered on the character of the individual applying and their fit to our school, rather than purely on the experience they have.  

Cheltenham Prep is all about happy, excited children throwing themselves into every aspect of prep school life and doing brilliantly. The majority of our pupils go on to Cheltenham College, with a small number successfully prepared for other top schools nationwide. They leave us with a love of learning and a genuine sense of excitement about the next step of their educational journey (alongside great academic results and large numbers of awards and scholarships).  

If you are happy to throw yourself into a myriad of different challenges, are dedicated and hardworking, and still expect to be able to get up every morning and be excited by everything the day has to bring, then this just might be the perfect job for you.

In order to be successful in this role, you will need to possess the following skills and attributes: 

• Vision, leadership and ability to manage development and change
• Outstanding teaching skills
• Excellent administrative and organisational abilities
• Outstanding communication skills
• The desire to play a full part in the life of The Prep, including games.

This is a hugely exciting and varied role for an outstanding teacher who wants to further their career in a fun and exciting environment.
