Subject Department Introduction:

The Computer Science department is made up of a group of passionate and knowledge professionals. Teachers have a variety of classes from IGCSE Computer Science in UK Years 10 and 11 and AS/AL Computer Science in UK Years 12 and 13. Computer Science has recently been a popular and growing subject throughout the school and results are high, with over 90% achieving A/A
* at IGCSE and nearly two thirds at A-Level. Many SCIE students are highly enthusiastic about coding, and there are several extra-curricular groups with their own computing projects and interests. Each year several students choose to apply to Computer Science courses in top universities in the UK and US.

We are looking for computer science teachers with experience of IGCSE and A-Level and/or AP, and strong coding skills (especially Java and Python) to join the team. Knowledge of 3D modelling, 3D printing, Robotics, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and the associated languages and applications involved will be an added advantage, as will experience teaching computer science at the highest levels, with particular focus on the ability to facilitate extension classes in Computer Science.

• Highly motivated academic students
• Students complete IGCSE exams at end of G2, and then go on to 5/6 subjects at AS, and 4/5 at AL…
