We are looking to appoint a Digital Learning Lead, with responsibility for leading all teaching staff, across the School in the implementation and use of technology in learning. This critically important role will provide the link between teaching staff and Senior Leadership in all matters relating to digital learning, while working across faculties and key stages to bring about whole school change.
In addition to the responsibilities held by this role, the successful candidate will lead the Computing and IT provision across school as part of the STEAM faculty. The successful candidate will be an excellent teacher of Computer Science: articulate, inspiring, confident, stable and supportive with effective and innovative people management skills.
