Streatham & Clapham High School (SCHS) seeks to appoint a dynamic and inspirational teacher with a passion for Computer Science, DT and Engineering.
Working across two departments (DT/Engineering and Computer Science), you will deliver stimulating and engaging Computer Science, DT and Engineering lessons from years 7 to 11. If suitably qualified, there will also be opportunities to deliver Computer Science teaching to the Sixth Form.
We are looking for a kind and compassionate individual, with a good university level qualification in a relevant technical subject. You will possess experience of teaching either DT or Computer Science to GCSE/A Level and also demonstrate a strong interest in DT and Computer Science pedagogy.
The Departments
The DT/Engineering and Computer Science departments are an intrinsic part of our commitment to women in STEM and members of both departments share a vision that promotes excellence in outcomes and inspires passion for the subjects.
At GCSE we deliver Edexcel Computer Science (1CP2), AQA Engineering (8852), and AQA Product Design (8552) with around two-thirds of pupils achieving grades 9-7. Computer Science benefits from a brand-new refurbishment, including a podcasting booth. The DT department is being further improved this summer.
