• Differentiate learning for pupils with different levels of prior experience
  
• Establish a purposeful, well-managed classroom environment
  
• Promote safe, responsible and ethical use of technology
  
• Contribute to departmental planning, enrichment and wider school life
  

To be considered, you should have:

• QTS or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification
  
• Strong subject knowledge in Computing, Computer Science or a closely related field
  
• The ability to teach Computing confidently at secondary level
  
• Knowledge of at least one commonly taught programming language, such as Python, is highly desirable
