Head of Computer Science

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Computer Science teacher to play a key role in the leadership of the Computer Science department. At Westminster School we believe in a creative and collaborative approach to exploring computing while developing rigorous problem-solving and computational thinking skills. We encourage and support pupils to pursue their own diverse interests. This approach has led to many fascinating projects including, building robots, exploring machine learning algorithms, creating computer games, programming AI models, making wearable technology and writing commercial apps. As Head of Computer Science, your key responsibilities will include:

• the successful teaching of the subject and its contribution to the educational aims of the school in ways that will inspire pupils
• the provision of leadership to departmental colleagues, playing a significant role in their review and professional development
• the efficient administration of the department's resources, facilities and budget
• the effective representation of the department both within and beyond the school
• the preparation of the department for ISI inspection
