Job description

This role is suitable for ECT applicants

This is an exciting role for an innovative teacher who is ready to take on departmental responsibility as we prepare our students for GCSE and beyond (the school’s first GCSEs will be in 2023).  As the new KS3 Computing Coordinator, you will be supporting to build the department in terms of curriculum planning and progress monitoring within the framework of the existing Trust curriculum model.  You will ensure that the quality of teaching and learning in the department is consistently high and will contribute to the development of a culture of sharing good practice.  Additionally, you will be responsible for the delivery of a rich wider learning offer in Computing.

Ada Lovelace is named after the Victorian pioneer of computing.  The school has a specialism in digital technologies and will provide different routes from Year 7 to Year 13 in ICT and Computer Science as well as having a digital focus on the Arts and Creative Media.  Ada Lovelace will use its Digital specialism to promote innovate approaches to teaching and learning using computation thinking processes across the curriculum to develop agile, confident problem solvers and effective decision makers.  We will use the story of Ada Lovelace to make exciting employer links to deliver an ambitious employer and work related experience programme.   Links are being developed to partner with forward thinking Universities to provide pathways for our students onto Digital and Creative undergraduate courses.

It now has four Year Groups with a total of 650 students.  The school will have 1,330 students when full.  Ada Lovelace is named after the Victorian pioneer of computing – it has a specialism in digital technologies and will provide different routes from Year 7 in ICT and Computer Science as well as applications of Creative Media.  Ada Lovelace also benefits from specialist provision and support from within the family of Trust schools.
