London, United Kingdom Eltham College Full time

Job Title: Head of Computer Science

Reports to: Deputy Head Academic  

Hours of Work: Full-time

The Headmaster of Eltham College seeks to appoint a Head of Computer Science, responsible for the delivery of the teaching of Computer Science which is currently taught in the Lower School as a core subject, and as an option subject at GCSE and A-level. 

Eltham College is a highly successful independent day school in south-east London, educating boys and girls aged 7 to 18 across both Junior and Senior Schools. The College has grown considerably over recent years: there are now over 800 students in the Senior School and around 260 pupils in the Junior School and places are heavily oversubscribed. Since 2020, girls have been able to join Years 3 and 7, mirroring the Sixth Form which has been coeducational for over 45 years. The school places an equal emphasis on academic, pastoral and co-curricular excellence and has an outstanding reputation in all three areas as well as for the friendly, unpretentious nature of daily life.

Department

The Computing department is amongst the best performing departments in the school. At GCSE and A level it attracts high calibre students with a strong work ethic and a desire to fully understand the subject. Many students go on to read Computer Science at top Universities including Oxford and Cambridge and are therefore keen to extend their knowledge beyond the scope of exam board specifications. 

In years 10 to 11 we teach AQA GCSE Computer Science and in the Sixth Form we teach AQA’s A level in Computer Science. In years 7 to 9 students undertake an academically rigorous curriculum based on, but not limited by, the Computing Programme of Study. In year 7 students are introduced to computational thinking via the Python Programming language. From year 8 on, the department use C# as the main teaching language. A range of cloud applications are used to streamline teaching and learning, including GitHub, CodingRooms and Microsoft Teams. 

GCSE results have been excellent over recent years with a three-year average of 57% of students achieving a Grade 9 and 97% of pupils gaining Grade 7-9. A-Level results are exceptional, with a three-year average of 91% gaining a grade A or A*. 

Pupils participate in various competitions and challenges across all age groups. Currently we run Cyber-Security for Girls, PA Raspberry Pi Competition, Bebras\OUCC, Informatics Olympiad and the Perse Team Coding Challenge. 

The Computing department is well resourced with three teaching staff and three IT Suites. The department is a forward-thinking and innovative, the successful candidate will therefore have the opportunity to develop ideas and resources, in a supportive and friendly environment. 

A highly competitive salary is available, together with a clear programme of staff development.

Application closing date: 8am on Wednesday 13 September 2023

Suitable candidates may be interviewed before the closing date and Eltham College reserves the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made.

We welcome applications from all parts of our community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake. Candidates will be assessed against relevant criteria only (i.e. skills, qualifications, abilities, experience).

Eltham College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants undergo enhanced child protection screening relevant to the post, including checks with past employers and the DBS.
