Teacher of Computer Science
About Us
Wembley High Technology College is one of the highest performing schools in the country. Nationally, the achievement of our pupils is exceptional; in 2019, our Progress 8 score of +1.58 has been recognised as the 4th highest in the country by the Department for Education. This progress from Key Stage 2 to GCSE has a transformative impact on our pupils’ life chances and last year, over 60% of pupils leaving us went on to Russell Group Universities to study a range of academic subjects. In September 2020, Wembley High also welcomed pupils from North Brent School in Year 7 for three years while their new £27 million building is completed. The addition of a new school in our Multi-Academy Trust provides exciting development and leadership opportunities for staff in the years to come.
The Computer Science Department
We are looking for a qualified or unqualified teacher who can make a significant contribution to this strong and successful department to teach Computer Science and Digital Information Technology across Key Stages 3 and 4. At GCSE, Computer Science is one of our most popular optional subjects; in addition, all students complete a vocational course in Digital Information Technology. In KS3 and 4 there is a strong theoretical and practical focus on programming. In Computer Science, pupils strive to succeed at the highest levels; in 2020, 96% of pupils achieved grades 9 – 5 in this subject. Due to the success and popularity of the subject, an increasing number of pupils are choosing to study Computer Science at university.
