Teacher of Computing and ICT

We are seeking to appoint a Teacher of Computing and ICT to start in September 2023. We invite applications from ECTs starting their career, or from experienced teachers looking for a new opportunity.

Shoreham Academy’s Computing department is thriving and expanding. Our results have been continuously increasing year on year, achieving excellent results at Key Stage 4 and 5, both in IT and Computing. This year, we will be aiming for even higher, and our success can be attributed to the ethos we share within the department.

We believe in collaboration and shared responsibility across the team. Each member plays a significant role in the success of our students, and we are keen to support all teachers to develop their students as well as themselves to be the ‘best that they can be’.

As a department, we believe in offering each person a chance to lead and we offer responsibility to those who desire it. We are keen to promote within the department and hard work and dedication are truly recognised and rewarded. This is true of both the school and the Computing department.

The Computing department aims to inspire and nurture the use of technology, in our well-resourced department, through engaging, and challenging curriculum. As a result, our curriculum is designed to enrich and broaden the minds and perspectives of our students. We cover a broad range of ICT and Computing topics at Key Stage 3, preparing students to take GCSE Computing and/or Information Technologies at Key Stage 4. Students can then opt to study Computing at A-Level, or Cambridge Technical in IT at Key Stage 5.
