Teacher of Computer Science and ICT

Teacher of Computer Science/ICT – MPR/UPR

Positions at Soar Valley don’t come up very often, and this is a fantastic opportunity for a highly competent and enthusiastic teacher to join our very successful and well-resourced department from the beginning of the new academic year, August 2024. 

We welcome applications from those wishing to offer full or part time, from both experienced teachers and ECTs.

The Computer Science/IT department is high achieving, supportive and very collaborative in their approach. A large number of students opt to take the subjects at Key Stage 4 and results are regularly amongst the best in the school, thanks to the excellent leadership and fantastic team spirit of collaborative working in the department.

Soar Valley College is a heavily over-subscribed 11-16 school committed to high standards, raising achievement and developing excellence in both our staff and students. We provide a vibrant and engaging curriculum that promotes the love of learning and prepares young people for the next steps in their lives. Ofsted rated Soar Valley an outstanding school back in 2014, where ‘teaching is exemplary’ and ‘students are proud to belong to the college’, and we believe this still remains the case today.

Academic outcomes and progress measures are strong every year, with a Progress 8 of +0.7 for each of the last two years. Academic results only tell part of the story however, and the thing we are most proud of is our unique and caring ethos, which inspires success for all, making this a great school at which to begin or continue your teaching career. 

You will benefit from:

• A strong personalised professional development programme, whatever your starting point
• Being part of a superb team of specialists, who work extremely effectively together and also show individualism in their approaches
• A culturally diverse and highly motivated student body
• Being in a school where relationships are a real strength, ‘students’ behaviour and attitudes to learning are exemplary’ (Ofsted) and outcomes very strong.
• Excellent facilities to support learning.

Please see our website for further details. Interested candidates are welcome to visit the school before making an application should they wish. Please contact Smita Stone, SLT PA, to arrange this on sstone@soarvalley.leicester.sch.uk or 0116 2699441.
