This role is ideal for an educator passionate about fostering academic achievement and student growth within both subjects.
In Key Stage 3, our curriculum aims to introduce pupils to fundamental concepts, fostering curiosity and building a solid foundation. At Key Stage 4, pupils can choose from a range of qualifications: AQA GCSE Computer Science or the Cambridge National in Information Technologies, and Edexcel GCSE Business or the Cambridge National in Enterprise and Marketing. Computer Science has historically enjoyed high achievement, while Business continues to be a popular choice, with a significant uptake among our students.

A commitment to collaborative working, student engagement, and continual professional development will be essential.

Where a role receives a high volume of applicants, we may need to occasionally close a vacancy before the published closing date of the advert. Interviews may be arranged as suitable applications are received.
Any offer of employment will be conditional on receipt of recruitment checks including proof of right to work in the UK and a clear enhanced DBS check.
The Trust pursues a policy of equality of opportunity. We particularly welcome applications from underrepresented groups.
Safeguarding statement
The Trust is committed to safeguarding children and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to a Disclosure & Barring Service check along with other relevant employment checks.
A ‘prohibition from teaching’ check will be completed for all shortlisted teaching candidates including those applying for a student facing role where it is indicated that they have qualified teacher status or have previously worked as a teacher. We will also consider carrying out an online search as part of due diligence on shortlisted candidates as recommended by KCSiE.
It is a criminal offence to apply for or accept a position (paid or unpaid) working with children if you are excluded from such work by virtue of a court order or exclusion by the DBS. Although a criminal record involving offences against children is likely to debar you from appointment to this type of post, the existence of other criminal convictions will not necessarily be a bar to employment
