A variety of websites and resources are used within the department including Python, Scratch and BBC Micro:bits. Google Drive is used to share resources within the department and Google Classroom is used for managing classwork and homework alike. The successful candidate MUST have experience with these.

The teach is passionate about computing and are always looking at ways to improve the curriculum, engage young people and teach computing principles in new and engaging ways. Partnership and co-ordination are very important in building a successful curriculum and we believe that increasing students’ enjoyment and curiosity of the subject will enhance attainment and progress.
